Multivariate Resource Performance Forecasting in the Network Weather Service

This paper describes a new technique in the Network Weather Servicefor producing multi-variate forecasts. The new technique uses theNWS\'s univariate forecasters and emprically gathered CumulativeDistribution Functions (CDFs) to make predictions from correlatedmeasurement streams. Experimental results are shown in whichthroughput is predicted for long TCP/IP transfers from short NWSnetwork probes.
