TY - JOUR AU - Zhang, Ruhui AB - Peer-to-Peer (P2P) plays an important role in the domain of Internet application, such as file sharing and instance communication. However, for the characteristic of bandwidth-intensive, P2P traffic identification is especially important in network management, which has been a hot topic in recent years. Based on the review of shortages of current existed technologies, a k-means algorithm based method was brought forward to identify the P2P traffic. For the reason that K-Means is one of the quickest and simplest clustering methods, it was selected as the core algorithm. In addition, the process of flow-information extraction and the descriptions of selected traffic attribute were also introduced in detail. Since the BT file-sharing traffic mainly runs over TCP, we only extract the flow-information of TCP connections. Finally, the experiments on 3 common used P2P applications, which are BitTorrent, BitSpirit and eMule, demonstrated the validity and efficiency of the method.
