Towards Reproducible Network Traffic Analysis. (arXiv:2203.12410v1 [cs.NI])

Analysis techniques are critical for gaining insight into network traffic
given both the higher proportion of encrypted traffic and increasing data
rates. Unfortunately, the domain of network traffic analysis suffers from a
lack of standardization, leading to incomparable results and barriers to
reproducibility. Unlike other disciplines, no standard dataset format exists,
forcing researchers and practitioners to create bespoke analysis pipelines for
each individual task. Without standardization researchers cannot compare
"apples-to-apples", preventing us from knowing with certainty if a new
technique …
