Problem Definition

- No satisfactory solution available for network performance forecast

- Currently, low accuracy of forecasting network traffic with static policies (thresholds)

Methods

• Notification network trouble in advance with high accuracy
  • Collect network traffic data from network elements by SNMP
  • Apply various algorithms for dynamic planning
  • Compare and evaluate each method
  • Find an optimal solution
  • Use the forecast value as a dynamic threshold (notification before event)
• Validation - Apply this method to NMS for POSTECH Network
