<p>A network node (e.g., edge node, muter, network management node) is described herein that implements a method for providing fast and exact traffic information during normal traffic fluctuations in a network and also during a sudden and big change in the traffic conditions of the network. In one embodiment, the method monitors a parameter of traffic flowing within a network by: (1) measuring a traffic parameter (mi); and (2) determining whether a value of the measured parameter (mi) is significantly different than a value of an average of previously measured parameters (avgi-1); (2a) if yes, then quickly adapting a value of an updated average of measured parameters (avgi) to be closer to the value of the measured parameter (mi); and (2b) if no, then slowly adapting the value of the updated average of measured parameters (avgi) to be closer to the value of the measured parameter (mi).</p> |
