Abstract

In one embodiment, a device in a network receives traffic data regarding one or more traffic flows in the network. The device applies a machine learning classifier to the traffic data. The device determines a priority for the traffic data based in part on an output of the machine learning classifier. The output of the machine learning classifier comprises a probability of the traffic data belonging to a particular class. The device stores the traffic data for a period of time that is a function of the determined priority for the traffic data.
