  • Publication number: 20220014471
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a communication network using machine-learning techniques are disclosed. In some implementations, a forecasted amount of traffic for a communication network is determined using one or more network traffic forecasting models being configured to generate the forecasted amount of traffic based on data indicating one or more previous amounts of traffic for the communication network. A measure of network health is generated based on a measured amount of traffic and the forecasted amount of traffic. Data indicating one or more characteristics of the communication network is processed using one or more machine learning models to generate a predicted measure of network health for a future time period. An indication of the predicted measure of network health for the future time period is provided.
