A Novel Traffic Prediction Method Using Machine Learning for Energy Efficiency in Service Provider Networks is a research paper published by MDPI, an Open Access publisher of peer-reviewed scientific articles. This paper proposes a new traffic prediction system that uses machine learning techniques to improve energy efficiency within service provider networks. The authors, Zhang et. al, experimented with different machine learning models such as Support Vector Machine regression (SVM), Bayesian Network (BN) and Neural Network (NN). The results showed that the proposed model outperforms existing traffic prediction systems and increases energy efficiency of service provider networks.
