The Impact of Self-Similar Traffic on Network Delay

The effect of self-similar traffic on the delay of a single queue systemis studied through the use of the measured traffic and models as input process. Amodel-driven simulation-based method is then proposed for the computation of meanline delay in a network design. Both the hybrid-FGN and the FARIMA algorithmshave been used to synthesize self-similar sample paths. The comparison results withreal-traffic data sets firmly establish the usefulness of the proposed model-drivensimulation-based method. A practica…
