Many studies have indicated the importance of capturing scaling properties when modeling
traffic loads; however, the influence of long-range dependence (LRD) and marginal statistics …

IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) is gaining widespread popularity as a layer-2
protocol for wireless local-area networks. While efforts have been made previously to …

For a storage model with a fractional Brownian input process, an exact asymptotic
expression for the queue length distribution is obtained, using a few plausible assumptions …

Cloud computing nowadays becomes quite popular among a community of cloud users by
offering a variety of resources. However, burstiness in user demands often dramatically …

Recent measurement and simulation studies have revealed that wide area network traffic
has complex statistical, possibly multifractal, characteristics on short timescales, and is self …

The Internet is currently experiencing one of the most important challenges in terms of
content distribution since its first uses as a medium for content delivery: users from passive …

This paper analyzes how TCP congestion control can propagate self-similarity between
distant areas of the Internet. This property of TCP is due to its congestion control algorithm …

We study diffusion of information packets on several classes of structured networks. Packets
diffuse from a randomly chosen node to a specified destination in the network. As local …

The relation between burstiness and self-similarity of network traffic was identified in
numerous papers in the past decade. These papers suggested that the widely used Poisson …

The concepts of self-similarity, fractals, and long-range dependence (LRD) have
revolutionized network modeling during the last decade. However, despite all the attention …
