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 …

Allocating resources for multimedia traffic flows with real-time performance requirements is
an important challenge for future packet networks. However, in large-scale networks …

Several studies of file sizes either being downloaded or stored in the World Wide Web have
commented that tails can be so heavy that not only are variances infinite, but so are means …

A major issue in statistical physics literature is the study of the long range dependence
phenomenon usually presented in natural, social and financial processes. In particular, a big …

A key criterion in the design of high-speed networks is the probability that the buffer content
exceeds a given threshold. We consider n independent identical traffic sources modelled as …

A common way to inject long-range dependence in a stochastic traffic model possessing a
weak regenerative structure is to make the variance of the underlying period infinite (while …

The differentiated service approach has been proposed as a potential solution to provide
quality of service (QoS) in the next generation Internet. The ultimate goal of end-to-end …

Multifractal Based Network Traffic Modeling provides an overview of existing broadband
traffic modeling based on the Poisson process and its variants like the MM1 models. It also …

Many previous studies on network traffic demonstrate that long-range dependence (LRD) is
a ubiquitous property of traffic both in a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network …

Recent traffic analyses from various packet networks have shown the existence of long-
range dependence in bursty traffic. In evaluating its impact on queuing performance, earlier …
