# NetFlow V3

NetFlow V3 datasets for machine learning-based network intrusion detection research.

This repository republishes the NetFlow V3 datasets introduced in *Temporal Analysis of NetFlow Datasets for Network Intrusion Detection Systems* by Majed Luay, Siamak Layeghy, Seyedehfaezeh Hosseininoorbin, Mohanad Sarhan, Nour Moustafa, and Marius Portmann. [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.04404)

## Description

NetFlow V3 extends earlier NetFlow datasets with temporal features for time-based analysis in NIDS research. [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.04404)
