How to use CIC FlowMeter in your approach

[zy557]

In your paper, you mentioned that you also used the CIC FlowMeter as a feature extractor. But CIC FlowMeter is a flow-based feature extractor, whereas in your current code you are using a packet-based adversarial traffic generation method using AfterImage.
I wonder how you modified your PSO method to adapt it to a flow-based feature extractor.

Hi, I may not remember the details clearly as it has been so long, but I think it is like this:
As the network flow is composed of packets, you could conduct perturbations on each packet in the flow (recall the grp_size parameter in change_manipulator_params()), and then aggregate them together to extract the flow feature.
