Traffic data encryption has been a trend in most Internet applications, and traditional protocol filtering based on fixed port and traffic classification based on Deep Packet Inspection are unable to Identify encrypted traffic. Recently, the traffic classification method based on the statistical characteristics of network traffic, which can solve the problem of encrypting data or user privacy protection, has been widely discussed. However, the traditional supervised learning method requires manual marking of a large amount of network traffic data, which is tedious and time-consuming. In this paper, a improved semi-supervised traffic classification framework based on BIRCH clustering method is proposed, and through experiments, the proposed algorithm, supervised learning algorithm and classical semi-supervised traffic classification algorithm are analyzed and compared. The results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has higher overall accuracy and classification accuracy, and the algorithm can increase the accuracy on traffic classification.
