LOW-LATENCY IDENTIFICATION OF NETWORK-DEVICE PROPERTIES

Abstract:

A method comprises analyzing, by a machine-learning model, a first network communication with a first set of inputs. The method also comprises inferring, by the machine-learning model and based on the analyzing, that a first device that is a party to the first network communication exhibits a device property. The method also comprises extracting, from the machine-learning model, a first set of significant inputs that had a significant impact on the determining. The method also comprises creating, using the first set of inputs, a rule for identifying the device property. The rule establishes a condition that, when present in a network communication, implies that a party to the network communication exhibits the device property.
