As network management tends to be refined, the perception of data on the network side needs to reach the precise application & service level. The application & service level here refers to the subdivided service category under the application, for example, under the WeChat application, there are services such as text, voice and video.

On the one hand, the analysis of service performance faults on the network side needs to reach the subdivided application & service level. On the other hand, although the management granularity of the business in the network operation state is the quality of service (QOS, Quality of Service) category level, but in actual network operation, the division of QOS categories needs to be based on the analysis of service characteristics with application & service levels, Only then can the mapping from application & service to QOS category be given. This also requires the network side to be able to know the precise application & service level. Therefore, the network needs application and service information of the perception data.

At present, the scheme adopted for the perception of application & service information on the network side is Deep Packet Inspection (DPI, DeepPacket Inspection).

On the one hand, after the application layer data is encrypted, the deep packet inspection technology has the problem of failure in some scenarios. On the other hand, as the types of applications continue to increase, the identification technology becomes more and more complex. The efficiency and accuracy of deep packet inspection technology has dropped significantly.
