The article deals with an adaptive method developed and an algorithm that implements it for the rapid evaluation of traffic characteristics and parameters in high-speed corporate multiservice communication networks. This algorithm operates in real-time environment. High-speed corporate multiservice networks are characterized by high dynamics of changing their state, including changes in the characteristics of transmitted traffic. Under these conditions, the automated network management system should provide the required quality of communication services and services provided to users. Thus, the relevance of this study is determined by the need to implement network management processes in a mode close to real time, with a given quality in the conditions of dynamic priority of unknown changes in network characteristics. The basis of the proposed method is the concept of conditional non-linear Pareto - optimal filtering by V.S. Pugachev, which consists in the fact that traffic parameters are estimated in two stages. Firstly, the forecast of parameter values is estimated, and then their correction is made with the following observations of parameters. Traffic parameter forecasts are made in a small sliding window, and refinement of current traffic parameter estimates is implemented by pseudogradient procedures, the parameters of which are regulated by the method of fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno logical output. In this case, increments in pseudo-gradient procedures are calculated relative to the average value of previous estimates calculated in a small moving window as well. This method reduced the average relative error of estimating the intensity parameters of non-stationary network traffic by 1.4-1.9 times, and also reduced the size of the sliding window in which it is processed from 1.7 to 4.2 times.The proposed method and algorithm belong to the class of methods and algorithms which require a preliminary training. The average relative error in estimating traffic parameters does not exceed 7%, which is a sufficient value for the implementation of operational network management tasks.
