Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Accurate prediction of the future network traffic plays an important role in various network problems (e.g. traffic engineering, capacity planning, quality of service provisioning, etc.). Measuring all the network traffic is impossible or impractical due to the monitoring resources constraints as well as the dynamic of temporal/spatial fluctuations of the traffic. To this end, a common approach is to solve the traffic matrix interpolation using compress sensing and matrix completion. Besides that, there are some studies exploiting Deep Learning techniques such as Restricted Boltzmann Machine or Recurrent Neural Network to estimate the traffic volume. However, their proposal reveals a poor performance regarding the traffic inference when the measurement data has a highly missing rate. In this paper, we propose a highly accurate traffic prediction algorithm by leveraging the advantages of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in the time series estimation and modifying the Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks (BRNN) in correcting the feeding data. We evaluate our model based on the Abilene Dataset which contains the real traffic matrices. The experiment results show that the proposed approach can achieve significantly better prediction accuracy in term of several metrics such as error ratio, mean absolute error and root mean square error, even when only 30% of the traffic flows in the network are measured.
