Today, the task of monitoring, security, management, traffic prioritization and optimization of the overall load on the network infrastructure is becoming extremely important not only for the corporate sector, but also for mobile and fixed-line operators. Current trends in Internet content services indicate that the requirements for traffic management are unpredictable. Therefore, service providers must implement new algorithms to monitor and analyze network traffic to detect attacks in today's networks, where software can be updated to support changing traffic management and control requirements as needed. That is why this paper developed a unique algorithm for monitoring and analyzing network traffic, which improved the efficiency of standard intrusion detection and prevention systems by using intelligent multifractal processes for analyzing incoming traffic. It has been experimentally proved that the use of the developed algorithms in the communication infrastructure allowed to reduce data losses up to 5% if malicious traffic was present in the communication channels.
