Abstract/Description
The objective of this research is to determine the macroscopic behavior of packet transit-times across the global Internet cloud using an artificial neural network (ANN). Specifically, the problem addressed here refers to using a "fast-convergent" ANN for the purpose indicated. The underlying principle of fast-convergence is that, the data presented in training and prediction modes of the ANN is in the entropy (information-theoretic) domain, and the associated annealing process is "tuned" to...
Show moreThe objective of this research is to determine the macroscopic behavior of packet transit-times across the global Internet cloud using an artificial neural network (ANN). Specifically, the problem addressed here refers to using a "fast-convergent" ANN for the purpose indicated. The underlying principle of fast-convergence is that, the data presented in training and prediction modes of the ANN is in the entropy (information-theoretic) domain, and the associated annealing process is "tuned" to adopt only the useful information content and discard the posentropy part of the data presented. To demonstrate the efficacy of the research pursued, a feedforward ANN structure is developed and the necessary transformations required to convert the input data from the parametric-domain to the entropy-domain (and a corresponding inverse transformation) are followed so as to retrieve the output in parametric-domain. The fast-convergent or fast-computing ANN (FC-ANN) developed is deployed to predict the packet-transit performance across the Internet. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
