Measurement and Characteristics of Aggregated Traffic in Broadband Access Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate statistical properties of the traffic especially for ADSL broadband access platforms, which have been widely deployed in recent years. Measurement traces of aggregated traffic are evaluated on multiple time scales and show an unexpected smooth profile with less relevance of long range correlation than experienced for traffic from Ethernet LANs. A reason for the different characteristics lies in the shift to an increasing population of residential users generating most traffic on IP platforms via ADSL access. In addition, data transfer protocols of peer-to-peer networks strengthen the smoothing effect observed in current IP traffic profiles.

Making broadband access networks transparent to researchers, developers, and users
Broadband networks are used by hundreds of millions of users to connect to the Internet today. However, most ISPs are hesitant to reveal details about their network deployments, and as a result the characteristics of broadband networks are often not known to users, developers, and researchers. In this thesis, we make progress towards mitigating this lack of transparency in broadband access netw...

Wireless mesh networks have attracted increasing attention and deployment as a high-performance and low-cost solution to last-mile broadband Internet access. Traffic routing plays a critical role in determining the performance of a wireless mesh network. To investigate the best routing solution, existing work proposes to formulate the mesh network routing problem as an optimization problem. In ...
متن کاملPotential measurement of pedestrian traffic in Kashan city with emphasis on urban planning indicators
According to Jane Jacobs, the main part of the concept of "street life" lies in its pedestrians. From his point of view, these are busy and vibrant walkways that give meaning to the city center by providing a social interactive environment. The existence of communities to achieve sustainable transport goals is obvious because it improves displacement, reduces the negative environmental impacts...
