Self-similar Traffic Analysis at Network Layer Level. Part I: Fundamentals

EasyChair Preprint no. 5235

Abstract

Traffic streams, sources as well as aggregated traffic flows, often exhibit long-range-dependent (LRD) properties. This
paper presents the theoretical foundations to justify that the behavior of traffic in a high-speed computer network can be
modeled from a self-similar perspective by limiting its scope of analysis at the network layer, given that the most relevant
properties of self-similar processes are consistent for use in the formulation of traffic models when performing this
specific task.

Keyphrases: Long Range Dependent, Network Layer, self-similarity, traffic flows, traffic models
