| This session will focus on the issues of network traffic and capacity prediction in the development of future communication networks. As the military develops new network-centric systems, understanding capacity requirements is fundamental but often difficult due quantitatively address. In addition, understanding the capacity provided by novel communications approaches is sometimes also complex to determine. This session will address the issues of prediction for next-generation networks and how to apply knowledge and algorithms relating to network traffic to achieve higher performance. | |
