Abstract

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications are bandwidth-heavy and lead to network congestion. The masquerading nature of P2P traffic makes conventional methods of its identification futile. In order to manage and control P2P traffic efficiently preferably in the network, it is necessary to identify such traffic online and accurately.  This paper proposes a technique for online P2P identification based on traffic events signatures. The experimental results show that it is able to identify P2P traffic on the fly with an accuracy of 97.7%, precision of 98% and recall of 99.2%.
