摘要

摘要

En 中文
With the rapid development of cloud computing, network architectures are moving towards distributed computing, which performs data processing at edge nodes to reduce latency, enabling more efficient and scalable network services. Nevertheless, this shift introduces significant security challenges due to the heterogeneity of communications protocols and the vulnerabilities of edge devices. To effectively secure these distributed networks, it is essential to perform multiple traffic analysis tasks, e.g. Network Intrusion Detection, Encrypted Traffic Classification, and Application Traffic Classification. However, existing methods have limited generic feature extraction and require the deployment of multiple models to solve multiple tasks, which exceeds the resource capacity of edge nodes. To address these challenges, we introduce a Lightweight Multitask Traffic Analysis Framework LiMTa, which novelly proposes a traffic pre-training method, FreqRec, and a lightweight multi-task model fine-tune method, MT-Adapter. FreqRec enables high-level semantic feature extraction by reconstructing the frequency features of traffic samples, and MT-Adapter efficiently performs multiple tasks by computing the pre-trained model only once. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on six traffic analysis tasks. Moreover, the MT-Adapter module only fine-tunes a small number of parameters, accounting for only 6.37% of the pre-trained model’s parameters, and achieves the same result as the full fine-tuning. Compared to full fine-tuning, LiMTa reduces the time cost by 50.9% and the space cost by 57.4% in six edge traffic analysis tasks.
