This chapter has proposed a new method to estimate large-scale IP traffic matrix. By describing the traffic matrix estimation into a modified simulated annealing process and using the generalized inference, we have successfully overcome its ill-posed nature. Simulation results on both real networks show that SAGI exhibits the lower estimation errors and stronger robustness to noise. Although traffic matrix estimation is becoming more and more important, the accurate estimation for it is not becoming increasingly easier. Based on the simulated annealing method, this chapter manages to attain accurately the large-scale IP traffic matrix estimation by considering the spatial and temporal correlations.
