Abstract
In one embodiment, a device makes a first determination as to whether a time series of a performance metric for a first network path exhibits seasonality. The device makes a second determination as to whether the time series exhibits a trend. The device predicts, based on the first determination and on the second determination, the performance metric for the first network path during a future time period. The device assesses, based on the performance metric predicted for the first network path, whether a measure of application experience will degrade for application traffic sent via the first network path. The device causes the application traffic to be proactively switched to a second network path, when the measure of application experience is expected to degrade.
