Power and performance analysis of network traffic prediction techniques

We study power and performance characteristics of different traffic predictors for online one-step-ahead predictions. The goal is to identify a predictor with reasonable accuracy and low power consumption. Our experiments on a large number of real network traces indicate that Double Exponential Smoothing and Auto-Regressive Moving Average are low cost predictors with reasonable accuracy.
