Overview

A collection of work from top researchers in the field, this book covers all aspects of self-similar network traffic. Readers will gain a better understanding of these networks through a broad introduction to the topic, as well as suggestions for future research.

Synopsis

The emergence of the Internet, Intranets and distributed computing in general has generated intense interest in the performance of these networks. Over the past five years, researchers have begun looking at the traffic patterns and bandwidth requirements for networks and discovered that a self-similar, or fractal pattern exists in the network traffic volume. This book is a collected work of the top researchers in the field, who cover all aspects of this topic.

Self-similar networks are those that involve fractals. The 21 studies here describe some of the principal developments and results concerning self-similar communications network traffic, covering traffic modeling, queueing-based performance analysis, and traffic control. The topics include wavelets for analyzing, estimating, and synthesizing scaling data; queueing behavior under fractional Brownian traffic; bounds on the buffer occupancy probability with self-similar input traffic; analyzing the transient loss performance impact of long-range dependence in network traffic; and congestion control.
