Abstract:
1. A method for predicting node blockage in a telecommunications network, the method comprising: determining an aggregated load on a network node device that routes network traffic, using a number of circuits of the network node device used over a specified time period in the past, and by determining a moving average of the aggregated load over a period of time using historical data; projecting a demand on the node based on the aggregated load; determining a current level of blockage on the node; and projecting a level of blockage of the node based on the projected demand and the current level of blockage; determining whether the projected level of blockage can be relieved; and reconfiguring a system configuration for a system that includes the network node device to relieve the projected level of blockage when the projected level of blockage can be relieved.
