Abstract
In one embodiment, network metrics are collected and analyzed in a network having nodes interconnected by communication links. Then, it is predicted whether a network element failure is relatively likely to occur based on the collected and analyzed network metrics. In response to predicting that a network element failure is relatively likely to occur, traffic in the network is rerouted in order to avoid the network element failure before it is likely to occur.
