Abstract
Network traffic measurement is regarded as the bedrock of next-generation network systems. Its purpose is to monitor the network traffic and provide data support for traffic engineering. For this reason, monitoring traffic data from a network-wide perspective is particularly important. However, the proliferation of network services has led to the explosive growth of network traffic, which has brought significant challenges to the measure of network-wide traffic. Therefore, how to infer network-wide traffic from partial traffic data is extremely important. In this article, a transforms-based Bayesian tensor completion (TBTC) method is proposed to infer network traffic data. First, the heterogeneous network traffic data with missing entries are organized into observation tensors according to temporal dimensions and other attributes. Second, the sparse hierarchical prior is used to induce lateral slices sparsity of factor tensors, which makes the tubal rank of the observation tensor can be estimated. Further, a variational Bayesian inference method is developed for model learning, and an efficient updating method is presented. Finally, two cases of the linear transforms-based tensor completion model are implemented in the experiments. Experimental results on two real-world network traffic datasets validate that the proposed method can efficiently and accurately recover network traffic data.
期刊介绍:
The proposed journal, called the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE), is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks. Aimed at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities and behaviors of networks, the journal seeks articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks. Another trans-disciplinary focus of the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is the interactions between and co-evolution of different genres of networks.
