Abstract

In recent years, various international security events have occurred frequently and interacted between real society and cyberspace. Traditional traffic monitoring mainly focuses on the local anomalous status of events due to a large amount of data. BGP-based event monitoring makes it possible to perform differential analysis of international events. For many existing traffic anomaly detection methods, we have observed that the window-based noise reduction strategy effectively improves the success rate of time series anomaly detection. Motivated by this, we propose an unsupervised anomaly detection model, MAD-MulW, which introduces a multi-window serial framework. The W-GAT module adaptively updates sample weights within the window to reduce noise, while the W-LAE module captures temporal trends through predictive reconstruction, enhancing inter-class separation. Our model has been experimentally validated on multiple BGP anomalous events with an average F1 score of over 90%, which demonstrates the significant improvement effect of the stage windows and adaptive strategy on the efficiency and stability of the timing model.
