Traffic classification plays an important role in many aspects of network management such as identifying type of the transferred data, detection of malware applications, applying policies to restrict network accesses and so on. Basic methods in this field were using some obvious traffic features like port number and protocol type to classify the traffic type. However, recent changes in applicat...

Rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. In the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. With traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. Four s...

Network resources are shared as needed by a community of users. Without effective traffic controls, networks are vulnerable to possible congestion when the offered traffic exceeds the network capacity, leading to serious deterioration of network performance. This chapter gives an overview of traffic control methods and their underlying principles. The main preventive controls are admission cont...

The purposes of this paper have to discuss issues related to Network Traffic Management. A relatively new category of network management is fast becoming a necessity in converged business Networks. Mid-sized and large organizations are finding they must control network traffic behavior to assure that their strategic applications always get the resources they need to perform optimally. Controlli...

Network traffic classification is extensively required mainly for many network management tasks such as flow prioritization, traffic shaping/policing, and diagnostic monitoring. Similar to network management tasks, many network engineering problems such as workload characterization and modeling, capacity planning, and route provisioning also benefit from accurate identification of network traff...

We present a novel approach for the measurement and estimation of network traffic management between network nodes in heterogeneous environment. This research investigates performance evaluation of network traffic on heterogeneous services and technologies environment. We propose an enhanced equation to evaluate the performance of network traffic management via Little Law and Queuing theory to ...

Recent years have shown an unprecedented reliance on the internet to provide services essential for business, education, and personal use. Due to this reliance, coupled with the exponential growth of the internet traffic being generated, there has never been a greater necessity for effective network management techniques. Network traffic classification is one key component of this network manag...

Network services which handle large-scale traffic require stability and security for the network. Traffic management for efficient traffic processing is also becoming an important issue. NFV (Network Function Virtualization) architecture has been developed to provide a flexible and effective framework to handle this issue and SFC (Service Function Chaining) technique which can configure a singl...

The road network is salvation for economy of any region and social welfare. In observation of dynamicity on road networks and the sharp increase of traffic congestion, accidents, states, the road traffic management becomes more challenging research area. It is need to develop efficient and optimized road network management to prevent the traffic congestion and accidents in the present developme...
