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