It has been proved that it is possible to guarantee delay bounds in a generalized processor sharing (GPS) server when traffic is regulated by the leaky bucket algorithm. However, the leaky bucket is not an appropriate regulator for long-range dependent (LRD) traffic. This paper introduces the computation of backlog and delay bounds for a GPS server under LRD traffic. Traffic is assumed to be regulated by the fractal leaky bucket, which is proved to be an effective policing mechanism for LRD traffic.
