Abstract: Devices and methods to identify malicious usage of a network device. In at least one embodiment, a network device comprises circuitry for performing a networking function and collecting telemetry data indicative of the performance of the networking function. The network device obtains an inference of a network traffic pattern using a machine learning model, and responds to the inference.

Abstract: A network device includes at least one port, a memory, data-path circuitry, and a processor. The at least one port is to exchange packets with a network. The data-path circuitry is to process the packets. The memory is to store signatures of traffic patterns according to a locality-sensitive signature function., and corresponding parameter settings for the data-path circuitry. The processor is to assess a current traffic pattern of the packets, to calculate a current signature over the current traffic pattern using the locality-sensitive signature function, to query the memory using the current signature, to configure the data-path circuitry, in response to finding a stored signature that is within a specified distance from the current signature, with a parameter setting that corresponds to the found signature, and take an alternative action in response to finding that no stored signature is within the specified distance from the current signature.
