network management points. Switches communicate with the con-
trollers via the OpenFlow protocol. Each switch has a local flow table,
which is used to match against incoming packets. A switch queries
controllers for the actions on unknown flows.
Programmable Traffic Classification with Flow Features
Variant Discernibility in Features
e features used to describe the properties and the characteristics
of an object are of fundamental importance for building classifica-
tion models and performing classification tasks with machine learn-
ing algorithms. On one hand, we try to collect as many features as
possible to fully describe the properties of an object. On the other
hand, we have to select ...
