Background of the Study
The exponential growth in network traffic has necessitated advanced methods for traffic analysis to improve performance, security, and resource allocation. Traditional network monitoring techniques rely on predefined rules and signature-based detection, which are often insufficient in identifying sophisticated network anomalies. Machine learning (ML) offers a data-driven approach by analyzing patterns, detecting anomalies, and predicting network behavior based on historical data.
Federal University, Wukari, generates substantial network traffic from academic, research, and administrative activities. Effective network traffic analysis is crucial for identifying security threats, optimizing bandwidth usage, and preventing network congestion. Machine learning techniques such as anomaly detection, clustering, and classification can enhance network traffic analysis by providing real-time insights into traffic patterns and potential threats.
This study explores the application of machine learning in network traffic analysis at Federal University, Wukari, evaluating its effectiveness in detecting anomalies and improving network performance.
Statement of the Problem
Traditional network traffic analysis methods struggle to detect sophisticated cyber threats and anomalies in large-scale networks. Federal University, Wukari, lacks an advanced network monitoring system capable of identifying emerging threats and optimizing bandwidth usage. Manual traffic analysis is inefficient and fails to provide real-time insights, leading to security vulnerabilities and performance issues.
Machine learning techniques can enhance network traffic analysis by learning from past network behaviors, detecting unusual patterns, and predicting potential security incidents. However, the adoption and effectiveness of machine learning in network analysis at Federal University, Wukari, remain unexplored. This study seeks to bridge this gap by assessing the role of machine learning in improving network traffic analysis.
