Abstract:
Identification and treatment of application flows are important to
many application providers and network operators. They often rely on
these capabilities to deploy and/or support a wide range of
applications. These applications, and the packet flows they generate
and consume, may have specific connectivity requirements that can be
met if made known to the network. Historically, this functionality
has been implemented to the extent possible using heuristics, which
inspect and infer flow characteristics. Heuristics may be based on
port ranges, network separation (e.g. subnets or VLANs, Deep Flow
Inspection (DFI), or Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). But many
application flows in current usages are dynamic, adaptive, time-
bound, encrypted, peer-to-peer, asymmetric, used on multipurpose
devices, and have different priorities depending on direction of
flow, user preferences, and other factors. Any combination of these
properties renders heuristic based techniques less effective and may
result in compromises to application security or user privacy.
