Identification the bast algorithm and features for skype traffic classification

Skype uses strong encryption to secure communications inside the whole Skype network. Clients choose communication ports randomly. Therefore traditional port based or payload based identification of Skype traffic is not feasible. In this project we used a Machine Learning identification method to di...
