With the rapid development of large-scale models, particularly the continuous advancement of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies, the field of network traffic analysis is increasingly exploring how to integrate these emerging techniques with traditional traffic analysis approaches to enhance network traffic perception and analysis capabilities. This report summarizes the evolution of network traffic perception technologies in three stages: (1) the transition from binary data to embedding-based representation learning; (2) the evolution of models and architectures improving analytical capability and generalization performance; and (3) the reflection and reconstruction of traffic representations, identifying potential biases and exploring more reliable paradigms for traffic representation and learning.
