Abstract:

With the popularization of the Internet and the increasing threat to network security, the analysis and detection of abnormal characteristics of network traffic have become an important research topic in the field of network security. The article mainly studied the methods of abnormal analysis and detection of network traffic characteristics in recent years. Firstly, the basic concepts and types of network traffic abnormality analysis were introduced. Secondly, the current main anomaly detection technologies were discussed in details, including methods based on statistics, information theory, graph theory, machine learning, and deep learning. Then, common network traffic anomaly detection methods were compared. Finally, the challenges of current research and future development directions were discussed.

Key words: network security, network traffic characteristics, the analysis and detection of anomalies, deep learning
