Claim:
1. One or more nontransitory computer-readable media for causing one or more computing devices to perform a method for forecasting the deviation of future link utilization between a pair of points of presence in an IP network, the method comprising: collecting prior link utilization information, the prior link utilization information identifying the aggregate link utilization between the pair of points of presence as a function of time; modeling the prior link utilization using wavelet multiresolution analysis; identifying as a deviation approximation curve a curve from the wavelet multiresolution analysis that models the deviation of prior link utilization around the long-term trend of the link utilization; constructing at least one linear time series model of the deviation approximation curve; and forecasting future deviation of link utilization using one of the at least one linear time series models of the deviation approximation curve.
