1 Objective: Throughput forecasting

In this project you will build a forecasting system that is able to forecast the data rate for a given

IP address in the Internet. This could be of paramount benefit for many applications, service

providers and ISPs. The system should be able to forecast the throughput to any IP address in

the Internet

You will do this in two steps:

1. Collecting as much data as possible of <IP address, throughput> pairs (e.g.

128.34.5.2,20304). This can be done with several options. Among them:

a. Using the code you have done in the networking session

b. Using python libraries (e.g. https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.client.html)

c. Using applications like wget (https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/)

2. Train and test a deep learning model with the data and show how accurate the model is.

You can use a simple neural network like the one used in the lab sessions or something

more elaborate (e.g. convolution neural networks. The dataset you collected in the

previous step should be split into:

a. Train set (80% of the samples). You can further split this set into:

i. Train set – used to train the model

ii. Validation set – used to evaluate the model in order to find the best

hyperparameters (e.g. learning rate, batch size, number of epochs) and

architecture (e.g. how many hidden layers, how many neurons per

layer, activation function). Alternatively, you can use a k-fold crossvalidation

technique, which should give better hyperparameters.

b. Test set (20%) – used to evaluate the model (do not use this data for training or

validation). Report the model Mean Square Error (MSE) of your test set with

your trained model. After you evaluate the model with the test set you should

not change any hyperparameters or the architecture.

Although IP addresses should printed as strings in your file, they should be processes as a 32 bit

vector.

Goals of the project

1. To be able to implement networking applications based on the socket interface

2. To be able to design and implement a deep learning model

Note that you have to be particularly careful on the quality of your data. For example, bear in

mind TCP slow start and explain clearly the amount of data you retrieved for each sample (how

many bytes did you get from each site). You should put your data in your web page (call it

data.csv, comments should have)

2 Evaluation

Software for Network Services (SNS) 2019/2020

December 2019

The project will be developed individually and should consist of a report (between 10 and 20

pages approximately)

Your project will be assessed on the basis of the following:

? 40% of the mark will relate to your networking code and the quality and quantity of

your data.

? 60% of the mark will relate to the quality of your deep learning model and the accuracy

of your results.

You are encouraged to share your data with your colleagues (by putting it in your webpage).

Obviously, you are not allowed to share any code. You will not be disadvantaged for sharing

data and you will not be advantaged for using more data than yours.
