Abstract

Congestion in a network can cause data packet losses, delays, and reduced network performance. To prevent congestion, network engineers must be able to accurately predict and manage network traffic. In this research paper, we explore the use of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) for predicting congestion in a network. GCN is a type of deep learning algorithm that can analyze complex network structures to predict the behavior of nodes in a network. With GCN, predicting congestion in a network, identification of potential congested areas becomes a reality. Proactive measures to prevent congestion from occurring is also been attempted in this research work. The results of our experiments demonstrate that GCN outperforms other conventional machine learning techniques in predicting network congestion with high accuracy and precision using ReLU6, which was the most suitable activation function for implementing the model. This research also demonstrates the potential of using deep learning algorithms such as GCN to improve network management and optimize network performance.
