TRAFFIC PREDICTION METHODS

Abstract

Network design requires detailed data on many parameters: the
number of nodes, types of network equipment of trunks and the number of ports of
network equipment, as well as options for network traffic distribution schemes. This
information is determined on the basis of such pre-project materials as traffic load,
network traffic, user demand for services, telecommunications, etc. These materials
can also be obtained with the help of forecasting, and the lack of forecasts for network
traffic is considered the main reason for the groundlessness of network development
plans. No matter how effective the developed optimization methods and
mathematical apparatus would be, the result will not be completely satisfactory if
there is no pre-pr
