Abstract
A method for predicting network-traffic bursts includes identifying, in data received by a networking device, a plurality of network-traffic bursts, each of the plurality of network-traffic bursts occurring at a respective one of plurality of burst-times {t, t, . . . , t}. The method includes determining a time-interval τof a next burst occurring at τafter burst-time tby determining respective values of τ, a parameter ξ, and a parameter η, that minimize, to within a tolerance, a quantity (ƒ(ξ,η,k)−(τ−t)) for at least three values of a integer k. Parameters ξ and η are, respectively, a real and imaginary part of a power-law exponent of a power law relating predicted time-interval τto any of the plurality of burst-times. The method includes determining, from a cumulative distribution function of a normal distribution of previously-identified network-traffic bursts, a time-duration during which the networking device may reallocate bandwidth.
