CESNET DataZoo (dataset collection)

A collection of datasets for network traffic classification and a set of tools to work with them.

The cesnet-datazoo package currently provides four datasets:

  • CESNET-TLS22
  • CESNET-QUIC22
  • CESNET-TLS-Year22
  • CESNET-QUICEXT-25

The core functions of the toolset are:

  • A common API for downloading, configuring, and loading of four public datasets of encrypted network traffic.
  • Extensive configuration options for:
  • Selection of train, validation, and test periods.
  • Selection of application classes and splitting classes between known and unknown.
  • Data transformations, such as feature scaling.
  • Built on suitable data structures for experiments with large datasets. There are several caching mechanisms to make repeated runs faster, for example, when searching for the best model configuration.
  • Datasets are offered in multiple sizes to give users an option to start the experiments at a smaller scale (also faster dataset download, disk space, etc.). The default is the S size containing 25 million samples.
