In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two different networks are investigated in stability analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow: 1) inter-platoon network which deals with the communication topology of lead vehicles and...

A major challenge in traffic modeling and performance analysis for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) stems from the fact that the incoming traffic is not independent of the congestion level in the network. This paper investigates a queueing model where the traffic essentially shows ON/OFF characteristics, i.e. the number of active TCP connections of finite (probabilistic) duration varies ...

Network traffic classification plays an important role in various network activities. Due to the ineffectiveness of traditional port-based and payload-based methods, recent works proposed using machine learning methods to classify flows based on statistical characteristics. In this study, we present a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of these statistical methods for real-time traff...

In order to understand the overtaking behavior of, overtaking physical separation events between bicycles and mopeds was taken out. According to the analytical model of road bicycle passing events vehicle spatial features, the bicycle passing events into free events overtaking, adjacent events and blocked events, and based on the bicycle traffic flow velocity distribution characteristics and bi...

IP multicast is gaining acceptance among service providers as the protocols and infrastructure mature. Yet characteristics of multicast traffic remain poorly understood. Using passive OC-12 monitors we observe multicast traffic on links connecting aggregated customers and peer networks to our native multicast backbone network. We first refine existing traffic flow profiling methodologies via an...

This paper proposes a framework for a flow-based network traffic monitoring of building automation and control networks. Current approaches to monitor special environment networks are limited to checking accessibility and a state of monitored devices. On the other hand, current generation of flow-based network monitoring tools focuses only on the IP traffic. These tools do not allow to observe ...

In this paper, we propose a simple MMPP (Markov Modulated Poisson Process) traffic model that approximates the LRD (Long Range Dependence) characteristics of traffic traces measured at our institution edge router, at both the flow and packet levels. The MMPP model mimics the real behavior behind the interaction between users, protocols and the network, using the notion of sessions and flows, th...

BitTorrent as one of the leading P2P file sharing applications has dominant traffic in broadband access networks. In this paper we present the main characteristics of BitTorrent traffic based on actual measurements taken from a commercial network. Analysis results at both applicationand flow-levels are presented and discussed.

This paper presents a traffic simulation system based on multi-agent animation method. The behaviour model of individual virtual agent defines the driving characteristics of the vehicle agent and cell-based configurations allow real-time dynamic path planning and efficient traffic flow simulations. By incorporating the advantages of discrete cellular automation algorithms and the continuous mod...
