The purpose of this paper is to present a method of modeling a superposition of individual Ethernet sources over an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network through neural networks. It is proposed the two-state MMPP model (Markov Modulated Poisson Process) to approximate the aggregated ATM traffic because of its simplicity and analytical tractability. The neural network is able to calculate the MMPP model of real Ethernet traffic over a 155 Mbps ATM network, avoiding, through this adaptive and real-time technique, complex analytic solutions. Besides, to match long-time dependence, it is studied the two-level MMPP model, that considers several time scales.
