Statistical Multiplexing and Traffic Shaping Games for Network Slicing

On Statistical Multiplexing, Traffic Mixes, and VP Management

ATM-based integrated services networks are likely to rely on the Virtaal Path (VP) concept as an intermediate resource management layer wherein key decisions concerning resource allocation, sharing, and flow aggregation are made. In this paper we consider the impact that statistically multi-plexing heterogeneous services on VP connections will have on network design and management. Based on sim...

Network Traffic Adaptation For Cloud Games

With the arrival of cloud technology, game accessibility and ubiquity have a bright future; Games can be hosted in a centralize server and accessed through the Internet by a thin client on a wide variety of devices with modest capabilities: cloud gaming. However, current cloud gaming systems have very strong requirements in terms of network resources, thus reducing the accessibility and ubiquit...

A Statistical Method for Profiling Network Traffic

Two clustering methods are described and applied to network data. These allow the clustering of machines into “activity groups”, which consist of machines which tend to have similar activity profiles. In addition, these methods allow the user to determine whether current activity matches these profiles, and hence to determine when there is “abnormal” activity on the network. A method for visual...

Statistical Model of Network Traffic

Statistical Models of Network Traffic

Model-based approaches have been applied successfully to a wide range of tasks such as specification, simulation, testing, and diagnosis. But one bottleneck often prevents the introduction of these ideas: Manual modeling is a non-trivial, time-consuming task. Automatically deriving models by observing and analyzing running systems is one possible way to amend this bottleneck. To derive a model ...
