TraceCodec: A Compiler-Backed Neural Codec for Stateful Multi-Flow Network Traffic Traces
Junhui Ding, Xinchen Zhang, Xiaohui Xie +1
Critical networking workflows require high-fidelity packet captures (PCAPs) for testing, security analysis, and protocol validation, not just statistical flow-level summaries. Rece…
UniAlign: A Model-Agnostic Framework for Robust Network Traffic Classification under Distribution Shifts
Tongze Wang, Xiaohui Xie, Wenduo Wang +2
Network traffic classification (NTC) models often suffer severe performance degradation when deployed in real-world environments due to distribution shifts caused by changing netwo…
PEMI: Transparent Performance Enhancements for QUIC
Jie Zhang, Lei Zhang, Ziyi Wang +5
QUIC, as the transport layer of the next-generation Web stack (HTTP/3), natively provides security and performance improvements over TCP-based stacks. However, since QUIC provides…
NetMamba+: A Framework of Pre-trained Models for Efficient and Accurate Network Traffic Classification
Tongze Wang, Xiaohui Xie, Wenduo Wang +6
With the rapid growth of encrypted network traffic, effective traffic classification has become essential for network security and quality of service management. Current machine le…
Bias in the Shadows: Explore Shortcuts in Encrypted Network Traffic Classification
Chuyi Wang, Xiaohui Xie, Tongze Wang +1
Pre-trained models operating directly on raw bytes have achieved promising performance in encrypted network traffic classification (NTC), but often suffer from shortcut learning-re…
Automated Network Protocol Testing with LLM Agents
Yunze Wei, Kaiwen Wei, Shibo Du +7
Network protocol testing is fundamental for modern network infrastructure. However, traditional network protocol testing methods are labor-intensive and error-prone, requiring manu…
