Traffic information service plays an important role in one’s daily life. However, traffic information processing is very complicated because of its dynamic, cooperative and distributed features. This chapter presents the Service and Monitoring Oriented Traffic Information Grid. In this system, it is a remarkable characteristic to provide real-time, dynamic information services for travelers and...

In this paper we present a concept of new architectural model consisting of multiple loop delay to increase the throughput. The simulated behavior of an optical node has been realized by using an n x m optical switch and recirculating optical delay lines. This investigation infers the scaling behaviors of the proposed architecture to maintain efficient use of the buffer under Poisson traffic lo...

The research on network traffic classification has recently become very active. The research community, moved by increasing difficulties in the automated identification of network traffic, started to investigate classification approaches alternative to port-based and payload-based techniques. Despite the large quantity of works published in the past few years on this topic, very few implementat...

Network traffic statistics from operators can provide a good overview on world-wide network usage. In the past, Internet2 provided statistics of traffic transferred in one of their networks. These statistics have been a valuable source of information for researchers and operators. However, Internet2 discontinued this project in April 2010 and, to the best of our knowledge, there is no other pro...

Future ATM networks will be required to support a plethora of services, transaction types and cell sequence behaviors with performance guarantees. Before this goal can be realized, however, some basically problems related to bandwidth allocation and traffic control in the ATM layer must be resolve. Such problems will in all likelihood defy solution as long as they studied in isolation without a...

High speed computer and telephone networks carry large amounts of data and signalling traffic. The engineers who build and maintain these networks use a combination of hardware and software tools to monitor the stream of network traffic. Some of these tools operate directly on the live network; others record data on magnetic tape for later offline analysis by software. Most analysis tasks requi...

Dynamic pricing models for network traffic often aim at deriving some relation between charges and current utilization of the network. This paper deals with such a price function that is a by-product of Kelly’s bound for the loss rate in highly connected networks and shows how the Refined Uniform Asymptotic Approximation RUAA, developed by Mitra et al., can be used to generalize the original ap...

Seasonal ARIMA model is a good traffic model capable of capturing the behavior of a network traffic stream. In this paper, we give a general expression of seasonal ARIMA models with two periodicities and provide procedures to model and to predict traffic using seasonal ARIMA models. The experiments conducted in our feasibility study showed that seasonal ARIMA models can be used to model and pre...

As network traffic is dramatically increasing due to the popularization of Internet, the need for application traffic classification becomes important for the effective use of network resources. In this paper, we present an application traffic classification method based on fixed IP-port information. A fixed IP-port is a {IP, protocol, port} triple dedicated to only one application, which is au...
