Is Network Traac Self-similar or Multifractal?
نویسندگان
چکیده
This note addresses the question of whether self-similar processes are suucient to model packet network traac, or whether a broader class of multifractal processes is needed. By using the absolute moments of aggregate traac measurements , we conclude that measured local-area network (LAN) and wide-area network (WAN) traac traces, with the sample means subtracted, are well modelled by random processes that are either exactly or asymtotically self-similar.

TCP tra c is multifractal : a numerical study
The apparent`fractal' properties of TCP data traac have recently attracted considerable interest. Most prominently, fractional Brownian motion (FBM) has been used to model the long range dependence of traac traces through self-similarity. Traac being by nature a process of positive increments, though, a multifractal approach appears more natural. In this study, various traces of TCP traac have ...
متن کاملScaling Analysis of Conservative Cascades, with Applications to Network Traac
Recent studies have demonstrated that measured wide-area network traac such as Internet traac exhibits locally complex irregularities, consistent with multifractal behavior. It has also been shown that the observed multifractal structure becomes most apparent when analyzing measured network traac at a particular layer in the well-deened protocol hierarchy that characterizes modern data networks...
متن کاملMultifractal Properties of Tcp Traac: a Numerical Study
We analyze two traces of TCP{traac recorded at the gateway of a LAN corresponding to two hours at Berkeley and to eight hours at CNET labs respectively. We are mainly interested in a multifractal approach, which we introduce with various examples. We elaborate on the diierence to (mono)fractal statistical tests being used so far. Though we nd statistical self-similarity, the data is clearly not...

Source traac streams as well as aggre-gated traac ows often exhibit long-range-dependent (LRD) properties. In this paper, we model each traac stream component through the multiplicative multi-fractal counting process traac model. We prove that the superposition of a nite number of multiplicative multifractal traac streams results in another multi-fractal stream. This property makes the multifra...
متن کاملMultifractal Modeling of Counting Processes of Long-range Dependent Network Traac
We study traac streams through their counting process representation. We examine the long-range-dependent (LRD) characteristics of such processes. We rst show that the measured LRD traac, as described by the interarrival time and packet size sequences , is suuciently well approximated by a synthesized stream formed by recording the counting state of the traac at the start of each time slot. We ...
