Research of Network Traffic Self-similarity Effect
Hongyun Xu · Computing Technology and Automation · 2008
The nature of network traffic is the basis of network design and performance analysis.Because of network traffic having self-similarity nature,the simulation research for generating network traffic with self-similarity has been done.Meanwhile we propose to combine self-similarity of source traffic with TCP protocol,study the effect of traffic self-similarity,and analyze the behavior of network traffic.The simulation results show that self-similarity of source traffic will be independent of network state,while TCP protocol can change self-similarity of network traffic indirectly with adaptive network state,which can not eliminate the self-similarity of source traffic.
