ArXi:2508.02001v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Pervasive encryption makes large-scale labeling infeasible for traffic analysis, while security operations demand edge analysis to avert service degradation and further vulnerabilities. These pressures have produced two disjoint research lines: 1) versatile analysis, via network foundation models for low label dependency, and 2) efficient analysis, via hardware offloading for low analysis latency.
