Abstract

Current network access control systems can contain unpredictable interactions between multiple device models, multiple network protocol layers (e.g. TCP, UDP and ICMP), hardware, and clock-skew-specific influences, and cannot detect or identify abnormal behaviours based on the type of device.To comp...
