Discovery of the causes of high latency network using data mining techniques: A case study

Abstract. Today, computer networks are essential not only for businesses but for the whole society, especially with the advent of increasingly powerful devices that are connected and need to communicate larger amounts of data to perform their functionalities. Latency, available bandwidth and packet loss ratio, are generally essential metrics used for monitor the network status. Monitor and control these resources tend to become a chore, but these components are critical to keep scalability, reliability and high availability in the networks. The main idea of this project is to use the various tools of data mining techniques for analyzing error logs of a system Management Network to find which technique is the most suitable to locate patterns or trends on this logs that can explain or indicate what is causing the high latency in the network. 1
