Abstract : This paper stresses the importance of network traffic classification for ISPs in managing network applications effectively. It provides a step-by-step process for classification, using a real-time dataset and four machine learning classifiers. The C4.5 classifier achieves the highest accuracy among the tested classifiers. Network traffic classification optimizes performance, improves customer service, and enables the detection of security threats. Machine learning, particularly the C4.5 classifier, is effective in achieving accurate results. Overall, network traffic classification is crucial for ISPs, and machine learning techniques enhance network performance and customer experience.

Keywords : Traffic Classification; Machine Learning; Methods.
