Correlation analysis between inference accuracy and inference parameters for stateless firewall policy

In this paper, we propose a new active probing method for inferring a policy of network firewalls. We also introduce important parameters to control inference accuracy and time. Then, we analyze correlation between the inference accuracy and parameters. Through the analysis, we show what parameters are tightly correlated with the inference performance. We present guidelines to set each parameter to a proper value. Finally, we show the simulation result to verify the effectiveness of our inference technique.
