Abstract
If current trends continue, the next generation of enterprise networks
is likely to become a more complex mixture of hardware, communication
media, architectures, protocols, and standards. One approach toward
reducing the management burden caused by growing complexity is to
integrate management support into the inherent function of network
operation. In this paper, management support is provided in the
form of network components that, simultaneously with their network
function, collaboratively project and adjust projections of future
state based upon actual network state. It is well known that more
accurate predictions over a longer time horizon enables better control
decisions. This paper focuses upon improving prediction; the many
potential uses of predictive capabilities for predictive network
control will be addressed in future work.
