CESNET-TLS-Year22: A year-spanning TLS network traffic dataset from backbone lines.

The modern approach for network traffic classification (TC), which is an important part of operating and securing networks, is to use machine learning (ML) models that are able to learn intricate relationships between traffic characteristics and communicating applications. A crucial prerequisite is having representative datasets. However, datasets collected from real production networks are not being published in sufficient numbers.

CESNET-QUIC22: A large one-month QUIC network traffic dataset from backbone lines.

The QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connection) protocol has the potential to replace TLS over TCP, which is the standard choice for reliable and secure Internet communication. Due to its design that makes the inspection of QUIC handshakes challenging and its usage in HTTP/3, there is an increasing demand for research in QUIC traffic analysis. This dataset contains one month of QUIC traffic collected in an ISP backbone network, which connects 500 large institutions and serves around half a million people.
