Abstract
|
Sudden surges of traffic, also known as flash crowds, present a
significant problem to Web sites. Current systems deal with
flash crowds by offloading a portion of the Web site load to a
content delivery network. However, it is hard to determine in
advance when the offloading should start. In this thesis, we
implement a system capable of predicting rather than detecting a
flash crowd. The prediction is based on linear regression
analysis of the system load over time. We demonstrate that it is
possible to configure our prediction system such that it
achieves reasonable results on all the studied real-world
traffic load traces.
