This research introduces PTGAMoE, a hierarchical graph-based framework that preserves protocol semantics while analyzing encrypted traffic, addressing a common limitation where complex models obscure underlying structure. By integrating field-based graph construction with a Mixture of Experts design, the approach not only outperforms state-of-the-art benchmarks under strict no-data-leakage conditions but also offers interpretable insights into feature importance and decision logic. For practitioners in networking and AI, this work highlights the value of aligning deep learning architectures with established protocol specifications to enhance both accuracy and model transparency.

Treat Traffic Like Trees: A Semantic-Preserving Hierarchical Graph-Based Expert Framework for Encrypted Traffic Analysis

arXiv:2606.04517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based deep learning methods have been widely employed in encrypted traffic analysis to exploit latent correlations across different granularities. However, while complex preprocessing pipelines and sophisticated model structures often achieve strong performance, they may obscure inherent protocol semantics during representation learning. Moreover, the hierarchical structure of protocol layers and their corresponding fields, defined by protocol specifications and routinely utilized in manual traffic analysis, remains underexplored in existing learning frameworks. In this paper, we propose Protocol Tree Graph Attention with Mixture of Experts (PTGAMoE), a semantic-preserving hierarchical graph-based expert framework for encrypted traffic analysis. The field-based graph construction and expert committee design enable PTGAMoE to quantify the model's preferences for specific fields and protocols. Extensive experimental results on representative benchmark datasets under strict no-data-leakage settings demonstrate that PTGAMoE significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) models. Furthermore, the semantic-preserving design provides interpretable insights into protocol-level feature importance and expert-level contributions, reflecting the model's decision-making logic in encrypted traffic classification tasks.
