A Heavy Tailed Probability Distribution Function to Model Self-similar Traffic in ATM Networks
S. Chandramathi, Subbaiah Shanmugavel, A Arun, K Prasanna · IETE Journal of Research · 2002
Recent findings have brought out the fractal or self-similar nature of network traffic. Self-similar processes have so far been defined only in terms of their auto-correlation functions, which are mathematically complex and not very tractable. In this paper, we present a simple distribution function that models self-similar arrivals by capturing its heavy tailed property.
