Abstract

The article studies the process of predicting the level of web traffic in computer networks. The possibility of predicting web traffic on different time scales using recurrent neural networks using the wavelet schedule of the original time series is considered. The wavelet transform decomposes the data so that the underlying temporal structures of the original time series become clearly visible. The individual wavelet coefficients are predicted, then recombined to obtain the final prediction. It is shown that the average number of bytes transferred in one hour demonstrates predictability when using this method. Further justification of the model parameters is carried out with the help of additional experiments and analysis of web traffic data.
