Abstract

Detecting network events has become a prevalent task in various network scenarios, which is essential for network management. Although a number of studies have been conducted to solve this problem, few of them concern about the universality issue. This paper proposes a General Network Behavior Analysis Approach (GNB2A) to address this issue. First, a modeling approach is proposed based on hidden Markov random field. Markovianity is introduced to model the spatio-temporal context of distributed network and stochastic interaction among interconnected and time-continuous events. Second, an expectation maximum algorithm is derived to estimate parameters of the model, and a maximum a posteriori criterion is utilized to detect network events. Finally, GNB2A is applied to three network scenarios. Experiments demonstrate the generality and practicability of GNB2A.
