Abstract-This paper attempts to characterize and model backbone network traffic, using a small number of statistics. In order to reduce cost and processing power associated with traffic analysis. The parameters affecting the behavior of network traffic are investigated and the choice is that inter-arrival time, IP addresses, port numbers and transport protocol are the only necessary parameters to model network traffic behavior. In order to recreate this behavior, a complex model is needed which is able to recreate traffic behavior based on a set of statistics calculated from the parameters values. The model investigates the traffic generation mechanisms, and grouping traffic into flows and applications.
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.
