Modeling Internet Traffic: Performance Limits

Abstract

Traffic modeling is an important tool for performance evaluation of networks. Over the last decade traffic characterization studies revealed the presence of different types of correlations in Internet traffic. In this paper we present traffic modeling methodology by aggregates of bytes using the / / M G ∞ process for capturing traffic correlations. We use recent traffic traces to construct / / M G ∞ traffic models, and we evaluate the generated traffic both statistically and by simulation in network environment. We show limitations of bytes aggregates models, and we conclude by propositions to obtain more accurate models.

Survey and Analysis on the Internet Traffic Model

“…按照流量建模的方式,我们可以把目前的流量建模划分成两大范畴 [28] :基于流的方法和基于包的方法.基于 流的方法根据流的到达过程建模,基于包的方法又可以分为两类:一类是基于包的到达过程和包的长度分布来 建模,另一类是根据时间序列的流量大小分布特征来建模.为了更清楚地展现流量建模的发展过程,我们在后文 中按时段发展顺序的分类方法进行阐述.…”

Analysis of Internet Traffic in Educational Network Based on Users’ Preferences

“…This is the task of network administrators who are searching for the best performance that their network can perform. There are three major components should be measured to detect the performance of applications; First one is to monitor and analyze network bandwidth also called throughput; Second one is latency also called delay and the third one is Internet traffic characterization, which is the point of focus for this study (Hassan et al, 2006).…”
