US Patent 10212043 Proactive link load balancing to maintain quality of link

Disclosed embodiments describe systems and methods for predicting health of a link. A device in communication with a link can identify profile information of a stream of network traffic traversing the link. The device can determine a first prediction of health of the link by applying one or more rules to the plurality of parameters of the profile information. The device can determine a second prediction of health of the link by applying a classifier to one or more timed sequences of the plurality of parameters of the profile information. The device can establishes a respective weight for each of the first prediction of health and the second prediction of heath. The device can select, using the respective weight, between the first prediction of health and the second prediction of health to provide a predictor of the health of the link.
