Abstract

Network traffic anomaly detection has gained considerable attention over the years in many areas of great importance. Traditional methods used for detecting anomalies produce quantitative results derived from multi-source information. This makes it difficult for administrators to comprehend and deal with the underlying situations. This study proposes another method to yet determine traffic anomaly (YATA), based on the cloud model. YATA adopts forward and backward cloud transformation algorithms to fuse the quantitative value of acquisitions into the qualitative concept of anomaly degree. This method achieves rapid and direct perspective of network traffic. Experimental results with standard dataset indicate that using the proposed method to detect attacking traffic could meet preferable and expected requirements.
