The goal of this paper is to prove by simulations in an virtual environment the potential of fractal analysis techniques in evaluation of network characteristics, especially in detection of anomalies. In this aim there are proposed several original research results: an Internet model based on scale free network graphs, a method to reveal self-similarities in generated traffic, a method to compare the behavior of two sub-networks and a powerful experimental test-bed which allows parallel processing running pdns (parallel/distributed network simulator) package on different sub-networks having scale free topology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
