Open-source datasets for anyone interested in working with network anomaly based machine learning, data science and research

Objective

Our immediate goal is to share real-world datasets and documentation that are instrumental to develop, test and compare anomaly detection algorithms based on machine learning (both supervised or unsupervised).

Our longer term goal is to systematically extend this collection with more complex datasets, event occurrences, which drives towards more real-life situations and helps the community move towards a greater capability for automation, remediation, and behavior pattern recognition.

Related repositories

The datasets released in this website are also instrumental to reproduce results that are published in [ACM SIGCOMM BigDama'18] and that are demonstrated at [IEEE INFOCOM'18] (see the Reference section below)

This repository only contains the dataset, whereas related repositories contain

• our generic DenStream implementation https://github.com/anrputina/OutlierDenStream
• specific instruction and code to replicate the paper results https://github.com/anrputina/OutlierDenStream-BigDama18

Usage

Each datasets include the following:

• .csv Dataset
• Header Definition File: Provides a definition of each header
• Case File: Information reflecting the events, time of the events, and device(s) where event triggers are initiated

Folders & Files

• /topology_description_docs - Information regarding the topology, all connections, cdp neighbors, and device types

  • telemetry_topology_maps.pdf
    • Slide 1: Logical topology map with links colored based on the numbe of ECMP links and speed
    • Slide 2: Actual connected topology
    • Slide 3: Device types in position
  • CDP_ground_truth.pdf: Device connections for the network under test
