Abstract: A method and system of filtering abnormal network parameter values are described. A network node receives first values of first network parameters that are not trusted by the network node. The network node determines, based on an expected correlation between the first values of the first network parameters and second values of second network parameters, whether the first values of the first network parameters are anomalies. Responsive to determining that the first values of the first network parameters are not anomalies, the network node causes the first values to be used as input to train a network prediction model that is used for optimization of traffic in the network, and responsive to determining that the first values of the first network parameters are anomalies, the network node causes the first values to not be used to train the network prediction model.
