Abstract

Systems and methods for discovering a set of applications that run on a network are disclosed. In accordance with one method, aggregate traffic volumes are determined for pairs of nodes on the network over a plurality of time intervals. The method further includes building a traffic matrix denoting each of the pairs of nodes and denoting respective aggregate traffic volume histories of each of the pairs of nodes that are based on the determined traffic volumes. In addition, the traffic matrix is formulated as a combination of bases vectors that model the set of applications. The bases vectors are determined by applying a covariance matrix adaptation evolutionary strategy based on the traffic matrix. An indication of the set of applications based on the bases vectors is output.
