Simulation of fractal network teletraffic

Published:28 June 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper an algorithm based on fractional Brownian motion is used to simulate network traffic. The simulated traffic is compared with real network traffic and the results from the comparison show that they are similar to each other, as the difference between the relative errors of the Hurst parameter of the simulated traffic and the real traffic is less than 2%. Therefore this algorithm could be used for practical simulation research.
