Simulating internet traffic with Markov-modulated processes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper considers various Markov-modulated processes which have been used in the literature to model internet traffic. In particular, such processes have been used to replicate the long-range dependent nature of internet traffic and the justification for doing so is that long-range dependence (LRD) has important effects on delays and buffer occupancy in traffic models. However, in combination with an extremely simple queuing model, the traffic generation models have their parameters tuned to match real network traffic traces. The queuing performance is then measured both in terms of the probability of the buffer exceeding a given size and in terms of mean queue length (or mean delay)

Markov-modulated on/off processes for long-range dependent internet traffic
The aim of this paper is to use a very simple queuing model to compare a number of models from the literature which have been used to replicate the statistical nature of internet traffic and, in particular, the long-range dependence of this traffic. The four models all have the form of discrete time Markov-modulated processes (two other models are introduced for comparison purposes). While it i...
متن کاملComputing Quality of Experience of Video Streaming in Network with Long-Range-Dependent Traffic
The amount of streaming traffic has grown enormously in the last years and is expected to continue to grow. However, the Internet still provides only best-efforts and therefore the traffic streaming are distorted by fluctuations in the available bandwidth on the Internet. In this paper we develop an analytical approach to study Quality of user Experience (QoE) for streaming by considering a MMF...
متن کاملMarkov models of internet traffic and a new hierarchical MMPP model
The first part of this paper gives a short tutorial survey of Internet traffic modeling, focusing on recent advances in Markov models showing pseudo-LRD (Long Range Dependence) characteristics that match those measured on the Internet. The interest in Markov models of Internet traffic, in spite of the impossibility to achieve true LRD or Self-Similarity, lies in the possibility of exploiting po...
متن کاملModeling Self-similar Traffic through Markov Modulated Poisson Processes over Multiple Time Scales
In recent years several studies have reported peculiar types of traffic behavior, such as long-range dependence and self-similarity, which can have significant impact on network performance. In this paper we propose a novel traffic model and parameter fitting procedure, based on Markov Modulated Poisson Processes (MMPPs), which is able to capture variability over many time scales, a characteris...
متن کاملInternet Traffic Modeling using the Index of Variability
In this paper, we propose a novel and mathematically rigorous measure of variability, called the index of variability (Hv ), that fully and accurately captures the degree of variability of a typical network traffic process at each time scale and is analytically tractable for many popular traffic models. Using this proposed measure, we then analyzed two traffic models: the Two-State Markov Modul...
