Baraniuk, "Multiscale Connection-Level Analysis of Network Traffic," vol. 1, 2002.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/20318Conference PaperNetwork traffic exhibits drastically different statistics, ranging from nearly Gaussian marginals and long range dependence at very large time scales to highly non-Gaussian marginals and multifractal scaling on small scales. This behavior can be explained by decomposing traffic into two components according to the connection bandwidth: the small bandwidth component absorbs most traffic and is Gaussian, while large bandwidth component constitutes virtually all of the small scale bursts. Based on this understanding, a novel traffic model is proposed that parsimoniously accounts for user behavior, network topology, and the heterogeneous distribution of network bandwidths.engDSP for CommunicationsConference paperhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ACSSC.2002.1197144
