Internet Traffic Modeling: Markovian Approach to Self-Similar Traffic and Prediction of Loss Probability for Finite Queues
Shoji Kasahara · 2001
It has been reported that IP packet traffic exhibits the self-similar... This paper studies the time-scale impact on the loss probability of MMPP/D/1/K system where the MMPP is generated so as to match the variance of the self-similar process over specified time-scales. We investigate the loss probability in terms of system size, Hurst parameters and time-scales. We also compare the loss probability of resulting MMPP/D/1/K with simulation. Numerical results show that the loss probability of MMPP/D/1/K are not significantly affected by time-scale and that the loss probability is well approximated with resulting MMPP/D/1/K.
