Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of characterizing analytically the autocorrelation structure of TCP traffic. We show that, under simple models, a single TCP connection generates traffic with an exponentially decreasing autocorrelation function. However, several TCP connections sharing a given link can generate traffic with long term dependencies, under the condition that the distribution of their round trip delays is heavy tailed.
