Title
A Feedback Mechanism For Prediction-Based Anomaly Detection In Content Delivery Networks
Abstract
CDN (Content Delivery Network) has become an important infrastructure of the Internet. However, building an anomaly detection system to monitor and guarantee CDN service quality is non-trivial. Current anomaly detection system usually suffers from undesirable performance in terms of high rate of false positive and false negative, which consequently impacts on its practical deployment. Identifying the root cause of a false detection is critical for diagnosing and improving the performance of anomaly detection. In this paper, we propose a novel feedback mechanism for prediction-based anomaly detection in CDN. Specifically, we introduce a carefully-designed metric named Fitting-score to diagnose whether the prediction model can fit the data well. Further, a threshold adjustment mechanism is proposed to dynamically adjust the thresholds of residual errors. Extensive experiments employing a three-month real CDN dataset collected from a top ISP-operated CDN in China show our proposed method can significantly improve the performance of anomaly detection.
