Classification Of Traffic Over Collaborative Iot/Cloud Platforms Using Deep-Learning Recurrent Lstm

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based collaborative platforms have emerged as new infrastructures over the recent decades. The classification of network traffic in terms of benign and malevolent traffic is indispensable for IoT/cloud-based collaborative platforms for optimally utilizing channel capacity for transmitting benign traffic and blocking malicious traffic. The trafficclassification mechanism should be dynamic and capable enough for classifying network traffic in a quick manner so that malevolent traffic can be identified at earlier stages and benign traffic can be speedily channelized to the destined nodes. In this paper, we present a deep-learning recurrent LSTM RNet-based technique for classifying traffic over IoT/cloud platforms using the Word2Vec approach. Machine-learning techniques (MLTs) have also been employed for comparing the performance of these techniques with the proposed LSTM RNet classification method. In the proposed research work, network traffic is classified into three classes: Tor-Normal, NonTor-Normal, and NonTor-Malicious classifies such traffic and also helps reduce network latency as well as enhance data transmission rates and network throughput.
