1. A method, comprising: receiving, at a processor, a committed information rate (CIR) prediction from a machine learning model, wherein the CIR prediction corresponds to a predicted average traffic rate supported by a network connection; adjusting a traffic shaping strategy based on the CIR prediction by increasing or decreasing the rate at which data is communicated over the network connection, wherein a rate at which data is communicated over the network connection is based on the traffic shaping policy; monitoring effects of the adjusted traffic shaping strategy; and providing, by the processor, feedback to the machine learning model based on the monitored effects of the adjusted traffic shaping strategy.
