Abstract
In one embodiment, a network device receives metrics regarding a path in the network. A predictive model is generated using the received metrics and is operable to predict available bandwidth along the path for a particular type of traffic. A determination is made as to whether a confidence score for the predictive model is below a confidence threshold associated with the particular type of traffic. The device obtains additional data regarding the path based on a determination that the confidence score is below the confidence threshold. The predictive model is updated using the additional data regarding the path.
