A Simplified Multifractal Model for Self-Similar Traffic Flows in High-Speed Computer Networks

EasyChair Preprint no. 5145

Abstract

This paper proposes a multifractal model, with the aim of providing a possible explanation for the locality phenomenon that appears in the estimation of the Hurst exponent in stationary second order temporal series representing self-similar traffic flows in current high-speed computer networks. It is shown analytically that this phenomenon occurs if the network flow consists of several components with different Hurst exponents.

Keyphrases: High-speed computer networks, Hurst exponent (H), multifractals, self-similarity, traffic models
