UNSW-IoTraffic: Consumer IoT Packets, Flows and Protocols

Overview

UNSW-IoTraffic provides consumer IoT network observations at packet, flow and protocol-parameter levels. It supports device profiling and traffic analysis.

Structure and scale

• Publisher-reported totals: 95,543,405 packets and 4,944,041 flows; 27 devices; approximately 203 days.
• 27 PCAP files, 27 flow CSV files and 450 protocol-parameter CSV files.
• 25 protocols detected using models covering 55 protocol types; parameter extraction covers approximately 70 percent of flows.
• Timestamps use UTC.

Download size

Dryad lists UNSW-IoTraffic.zip at 14.24 GB. It contains the complete package. The separate PCAP, flow, protocol and script archives duplicate its subsets; the displayed 28.47 GB deposit total is not the size of unique data.

Limitations

There are no ground-truth event or interaction annotations. Packet traces retain full headers and payloads. The strings * and null represent documented unavailable or inapplicable fields, not wildcards. Counts are taken from the publisher documentation; the raw files were not independently recounted for this catalog.
