Network Traffic Prediction using Deep Learning Models: Reducing Latency in High-Demand Scenarios

The availability of the internet and enhanced applications, more specifically, the utilization of more devices in networks, and improved computational applications has created complexity in the control of network traffic. Network traffic forecasting is an essential component in low-latency networks, as well as in real-time applications that deserve excellent service quality and efficient resource allocation. This study therefore focuses on identifying whether deep learning models can further improve the accuracy in forecasting traffic flows in a network. Therefore, with the help of LSTM networks and Convolutional Neural Networks, the work will build temporal dependencies and spatial correlations of network traffic data. There are major and minor adaptations to some classic methodologies that conform the proposed framework; moreover, it is applied to two real datasets to highlight the capacity of the model in anticipating traffic congestion with a higher level of accuracy than the traditional methodologies. Evaluation of models in dynamic network conditions is done through common parameters such as prediction accuracy, lowered latency, and scalability. Saved models show that deep learning-based solutions reduce latency at high loads much more effectively, which will help network administrators in finding efficient solutions. This study demonstrate how deep learning can aid in the prediction of traffics, and the manner in which it is changing the efficiency and effectiveness of modern-day network systems. It makes the foundation for improved understanding of traffic patterns in order to apply it to optimize future generation of communication networks.
