DataZoo: Streamlining Traffic Classification Experiments

The machine learning communities, such as those around computer vision or natural language processing, have developed numerous supportive tools and benchmark datasets to accelerate the development. In contrast, the network traffic classification field lacks standard benchmark datasets for most tasks, and the available supportive software is rather limited in scope. This paper aims to address the gap and introduces DataZoo, a toolset designed to streamline dataset management in network traffic classification and to reduce the space for potential mistakes in the evaluation setup. DataZoo provides a standardized API for accessing three extensive datasets -- CESNET-QUIC22, CESNET-TLS22, and CESNET-TLS-Year22. Moreover, it includes methods for feature scaling and realistic dataset partitioning, taking into consideration temporal and service-related factors. The DataZoo toolset simplifies the creation of realistic evaluation scenarios, making it easier to cross-compare classification methods and reproduce results.
