Abstract

Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecommunication authorities are interested in detecting VoIP calls either to block illegal commercial VoIP or prioritize the paid users VoIP calls. Signature-based, port-based, and pattern-based VoIP detection techniques are not more accurate and not efficient due to complex security and tunneling mechanisms used by VoIP. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a rule-based generic, robust, and efficient statistical analysis-based solution to identify encrypted, non-encrypted, or tunneled VoIP media (voice) flows using threshold approach. In addition, a system is proposed to efficiently process high-speed real-time network traffic. The accuracy and efficiency evaluation results and the comparative study show that the proposed system outperforms the existing systems with the ability to work in real-time and high-speed Big Data environment.
