I guess it depends how real-time you need your alerts to be. In our
deployments, our network engineers use this algorithm in conjuction with
more convetional fixed thresholds (i.e. traffic > x). This algorithm is
used detect more subtle changes in behavior and they find the 30-45 time
frame acceptable for that application.

You may be to able to use tuning to improve the effectiveness of the
algorithm for closer to real-time alerts. I suspect this involves
increasing the adaption parameters as I indicated and probably
increasing the width of the confidence bands.
