“…However, these studies have been limited in contribution because of the datasets used. Some of them (Al-Hadhrami & Hussain, 2020;Bhale, Dey, Biswas & Nandi, 2020;Cakir, Toklu & Yalcin, 2020;Cakir & Yalcin, 2021;Mbarek, Ge & Pitner, 2020;Sharma, Elmiligi, Gebali & Verma, 2019;Verma & Ranga, 2020;Yavuz, Ünal & Gül, 2018) use simulation data for developing their models but such data may not be very convenient to develop machine learning models especially in realistic attack scenarios because simulators simulate a certain behavior and the data generated by them may not be very realistic. Some other works (Mounica, Vijayasaraswathi & Vasavi, 2021;Rezvy, Luo, Petridis, Lasebae & Zebin, 2019), on the other hand, use outdated network datasets which consist of generic network attacks.…”
