Passive TCP Identification for Wired and WirelessNetworks: A Long-Short Term Memory Approach
Abstract
Transmission control protocol (TCP) congestion control is one of the key techniques to improve network performance. TCP congestion control algorithm identification (TCP identification) can be used to significantly improve network efficiency. Existing TCP identification methods can only be applied to limited number of TCP congestion control algorithms and focus on wired networks. In this paper, we proposed a machine learning based passive TCP identification method for wired and wireless networks. After comparing among three typical machine learning models, we concluded that the 4-layers Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model achieves the best identification accuracy. Our approach achieves better than 98% accuracy in wired and wireless networks and works for newly proposed TCP congestion control algorithms.
