Studies of Internet Paths "QoS"

["JP Vasseur \(jvasseur\) via NANOG" <nanog () nanog org>]

Hi Team,

As a brief intro, I am in charge of Analytics/ML/AI as a Cisco Fellow. We have been studying a number of paths 
characteristics through the Internet both single and multi-SP, Best-effort/Business Internet backbone/MPLS, … across 
all regions in the world and lately focussing on SaaS, going beyond the traditional delay/loss/jitter but computing 
various statistical moments, using stats/ML to detect trends/seasonality, path variances, etc … Such studies are used 
to enhance our best path selection algorithms in various contexts such as SD-WAN, … using reactive and predictive 
analytics. 

If you’re interested by such studies and/or you are working on such topics, happy to get connected.

On another fronts, I’m happy to present our work in the area of ML/AI for Networking at some point.

Cheers.

JP.
