Abstract(in English) With the proliferation of encrypted traffic and the increasing importance of application-specific QoE management, the need for application identification is increasing. However, existing research on application identification do not discuss the impact of slice allocation errors due to misclassification and the decrease in QoE due to delays of classification. In this paper, we propose a new architecture called Progressive Slicing, which adaptively allocates the flow into slices with high bandwidth according to the state and result of the classification. The QoE can be maintained by allocating a small bandwidth to the new flow and adaptively transitioning it to a slice with a larger bandwidth according to the classification results. In addition, by performing multiple classifications, we can assign the flows to the slices according to each result, making slicing more tolerant of misclassification and maintaining the QoE of the application. In the proposed system, we evaluate the influence in QoE for multiple user scenarios and the amount of data consumed during the decision making on the Android VM and show that this method can reduce the search time in Twitter by 18% compared to the case where this method was not implemented.
