Abstract:
In one embodiment, a management system determines respective capability information of machine learning systems, the capability information including at least an action the respective machine learning system is configured to perform. The management system receives, for each of the machine learning systems, respective performance scoring information associated with the respective action, and computes a degree of freedom for each machine learning system to perform the respective action based on the performance scoring information. Accordingly, the management system then specifies the respective degree of freedom to the machine learning systems. In one embodiment, the management system comprises a management device that computes a respective trust level for the machine learning systems based on receiving the respective performance scoring feedback, and a policy engine that computes the degree of freedom based on receiving the trust level. In further embodiments, the machine learning system performs the action based on the degree of freedom.
Abstract:
Method to estimate transmission delays in network by using a learning machine. Periodic round-trip probes are executed in a network, whereby a packet is transmitted along a particular communication path from a source to a destination and back to the source. Statistical information relating to the round-trip probes is gathered, and a transmission delay of the round-trip probes is calculated based on the gathered statistical information. Also, an end- to-end transmission delay along an arbitrary communication path in the network is estimated based on the calculated transmission delay of the round-trip probes.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, techniques are shown and described relating to dynamically adjusting a set of monitored network properties using distributed learning machine feedback. In particular, in one embodiment, a learning machine (or distributed learning machines) determines a plurality of monitored network properties in a computer network. From this, a subset of relevant network properties of the plurality of network properties may be determined, such that a corresponding subset of irrelevant network properties based on the subset of relevant network properties may also be determined. Accordingly, the computer network may be informed of the irrelevant network properties to reduce a rate of monitoring the irrelevant network properties.
Abstract:
A request to make a prediction regarding service level agreements (SLAs) in a Low Power and Lossy Network (LLN) is received. A network traffic parameter and an SLA requirement associated with the network traffic parameter according to the SLAs are also determined. A performance metric associated with traffic in the network that corresponds to the determined network traffic parameter is estimated. It may then be predicted whether the SLA requirement would be satisfied based on the estimated performance metric. A Learning Machine is used for predicting and routing topology in the network is dynamically adjusted in order to meet SLA requirements.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a learning data processor determines a plurality of machine learning features in a computer network to collect. Upon receiving data corresponding to the plurality of features, the learning data processor may aggregate the data, and pushes the aggregated data for select features to interested learning machines associated with the computer network.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, techniques are shown and described relating to a mixed centralized/distributed algorithm for risk mitigation in sparsely connected networks. In particular, in one embodiment, a management node determines one or more weak point nodes in a shared-media communication network, where a weak point node is a node traversed by a relatively high amount of traffic as compared to other nodes in the network. In response to determining that a portion of the traffic can be routed over an alternate acceptable node, the management node instructs the portion of traffic to reroute over the alternate acceptable node.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, techniques are shown and described relating to learning machine based detection of abnormal network performance. In particular, in one embodiment, a border router receives a set of network properties x; and network performance metrics M; from a network management server (NMS), and then intercepts x; and M; transmitted from nodes in a computer network of the border router. As such, the border router may then build a regression function F based on x; and Mi, and can detect one or more anomalies in the intercepted x; and M; based on the regression function F. In another embodiment, the NMS, which instructed the border router, receives the detected anomalies from the border router.
