Abstract

Systems and methods for analyzing and forecasting network traffic are disclosed. In some implementations, multiple points are received. Each point represents a time value and a network traffic value. For each point in the multiple points, the network traffic value is decomposable into a trend component, a seasonality component, a burst component, and a random error component. A trend equation is generated for calculating the trend component based on the time value. A seasonality equation is generated for calculating the seasonality component based on the time value. A burst equation is generated for calculating the burst component based on the time value. A random error equation is generated for calculating the random error component. A network traffic equation is generated for calculating the network traffic value based on the time value by combining the trend equation, the seasonality equation, the burst equation, and the random error equation.
