Abstract(in English) As of 2022, 66% of Internet traffic is generated by video content services, among which Netflix and YouTube are the dominant players. By predicting the traffic volume of individual video content services, ISPs can make appropriate capital investments and determine appropriate peering policies with CDN (Content Delivery Network) providers. Although DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) is widely used to identify network services, packet-level analysis does not scale to the traffic passing through backbone ISPs and is inapplicable to encrypted packets. This paper proposes OLIViS (OSINT-based Lightweight method for Identifying Video content Services). To achieve scalability, OLIViS adopts flow-level analysis. In the first step, OLIViS extracts elephant flows as anomalies using a CNN-VAE (Convolutional Neural Network - Variational AutoEncoder) trained to detect mice flows. In the second step, OLIViS identifies flows of individual video content services included in the elephant flows by referring to OSINT (Open Source INTelligence) data such as SAN (Subject Alternative Name). OLIViS identifies Netflix and youTube flows with accuracy of over 96% in terms of traffic volume, and OLIViS infers the flow statistics of Netflix and YouTube, which closely resemble those inferred with DPI on non-encrypted traffic in a campus network.
