Researchers have developed lightweight Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) models for network traffic generation, addressing limitations of current methods in modeling complex temporal dynamics and high computational costs. These models synthesize compact, flow-level traffic representations using transformer-based, state-space, and diffusion architectures with millions of parameters, rather than generating raw packet bytes or relying on large foundation models. Experiments indicate that these lightweight transformers offer a favorable fidelity-efficiency trade-off, producing high-quality synthetic traffic data suitable for privacy-preserving network traffic classification and data augmentation, even in low-data scenarios.
