GARCH model-based large-scale IP traffic matrix estimation

Abstract

This letter proposes a novel method to estimate large-scale IP traffic matrix (TM). By using the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) to model the Origin-Destination (OD) flows, we can easily get rid of the ill-posed problem of large-scale IP TM. Compared with previous methods, our method does not only hold the lower estimation errors but also is more robust to the noise.
