Description
Summary:This paper presents the Poisson Pareto burst process (PPBP) as a simple but accurate model for Internet traffic. It presents formulae relating the parameters of the PPBP to measurable traffic statistics, and describes a technique for fitting the PPBP to a given traffic stream. The PPBP is shown to accurately predict the queueing performance of a sample trace of aggregated Internet traffic. We predict that in few years, natural growth and statistical multiplexing will lead to an efficient optical Internet.
