Abstract: The major purpose of technique of classifying the network traffic is to identify various kinds of applications or traffic data. The analysis of received data packets is performed due to its necessity in communication networks nowadays. There are diverse phases to classify the network traffic such as to pre-process the data, extract the attributes and perform the classification. The dataset is utilized for the input in the classification stage. This paper studies diverse ML techniques in order to classify the network traffic..
