NFStream
A flexible Python framework for fast network flow data analysis, offering encrypted application identification, statistical feature extraction, and extensibility via plugins.
What is NFStream?
NFStream is a Python framework for network flow data analysis that processes both online and offline network traffic. It provides fast, flexible data structures for aggregating packets into flows, extracting statistical features, and identifying encrypted applications using deep packet inspection. The framework solves the problem of inconsistent and non-reproducible network data analysis by offering a unified, extensible platform for researchers and practitioners.
Network researchers, data scientists, and security analysts who need to analyze network traffic flows, extract features for machine learning, or perform encrypted application identification. It is also suitable for developers building network monitoring or traffic management tools.
Developers choose NFStream for its high performance, built-in encrypted traffic visibility via nDPI, and extensibility through plugins. Its focus on reproducibility and machine learning integration makes it a preferred choice for research and practical deployments where consistent feature extraction and model deployment are critical.
