Use of internet has recently reached a very high level. As a result, issues such as development in the service quality, efficient use of network and the availability of different service packets have gained more importance. In order to perform traffic management effectively, the classification of traffic data flowing over the internet-especially providing the security on major networks-has become more important. This information is required to be known by the network administrators to manage the network properly because the internet traffic and variety in applications has rapidly increased. Port, payload and statistical information have been commonly used for the classification. Because there are a limited number of options in the classification made according to the port and payload based approaches, the supervised machine learning algorithms have started to be frequently used in the internet traffic classification. Support vector machine (SVM) and Neural networks (NN) based classifiers were used so many times in the previous studies. In the performed study, extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm has been used instead of traditional classifying techniques; and the success of the classification made with ELM has been found to be higher than the others.
