Abstract
In one embodiment, a learning machine may be used to select observer nodes in a LLN such that the liveness of one or more nodes of interest may be monitored indirectly. In particular, a management device may receive network data on one or more network traffic parameters of a computer network. The management device may then determine, based on the network data, a candidate list of potential observer nodes to monitor activity or inactivity of one or more subject nodes. The management device may then dynamically select, using a machine learning model, a set of optimized observer nodes from the candidate list of potential observer nodes.
