Abstract
Recently, the Internet has adopted the DNS over HTTPS (DoH) resolution mechanism for privacy-aware network applications. As DoH becomes more disseminated, it has also become a network monitoring research topic. For comprehensive evaluation and comparison of developed classifiers, real-world datasets are needed, motivating this contribution. We created a new large-scale collection of datasets consisting of two classes of traffic: i) DoH HTTPS communication and ii) non-DoH HTTPS connections. The DoH traffic is captured for multiple DoH providers and clients to include nuances of various DoH implementations and configurations. The non-DoH HTTPS connections complement the DoH communication aiming to include a wide range of existing network applications. The dataset collection consists of network traffic generated in a controlled environment and traffic captured from a real ISP network. The resulting datasets thus provide real-world network traffic data suitable for evaluating existing classifiers and the development of new methods.
