description Considering the exponential growth of network traffic, particularly driven by over-the-top (OTT) streaming applications, video category network traffic constitutes a significant portion of overall network traffic. However, most research has focused on the categorization and diversity of network traffic using benchmark datasets, with limited attention paid to video category network traffic. Additionally, there is a lack of proprietary Internet video traffic datasets, and the few proprietary datasets available often lack transparency and interpretability. This paper introduces a novel framework for generating proprietary Internet video traffic datasets, addressing existing gaps in dataset quality and consistency. We propose the nYFTQC algorithm, which enables the creation of fifteen detailed datasets specifically designed for Internet video traffic analysis. The proposed datasets demonstrate superior performance metrics, including completeness, consistency, and transparency. This comprehensive approach enhances the accuracy and interpretability of traffic sample analysis, providing valuable resources for future research in video category network traffic.
