ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a flow-level QoS (Quality of Service) routing framework that integrates AI-based traffic prediction to improve real-time network performance. The proposed method uses a LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) neural network to estimate future traffic loads based on time-series data collected in a SDN (Software-Defined Networking) environment. Using the predicted traffic, the SDN controller dynamically adjusts link weights considering latency, congestion, and packet loss, and computes optimized paths via a modified Dijkstra algorithm. The system was implemented in a Mininet-based SDN testbed. Experimental results show that the proposed LSTM-based routing method significantly outperforms both static and non-predictive dynamic routing in terms of delay, packet loss, throughput, and path stability. Average latency was reduced by 30%, with routing decision time maintained below 100ms. Additionally, this system enables fast integration of predictions through a RESTful API that connects the predictor and SDN controller. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness and adaptability of prediction-based QoS routing, and show that it is a structure that can be applied to future real-time network environments such as high-reliability networks, large-scale IoT environments, and smart city systems.
