Performance-relevant Network Traffic Correlation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Correlation structure is an important metric to consider when modeling the performance of network traffic. Particularly, the presence of long-range dependence (LRD) in the input process may, under some circumstances, lead to poor queueing performance. In this paper, we first aim to characterize the conditions under which the presence of LRD is performance relevant. We define variations of an ON/OFF-type process that employ a truncated power-tail (TPT) distribution, and analyze their correlation structure in relation to queueing performance. Our analytic results show that the correlation structure in some cases is very sensitive to the presence of a background Poisson process, and that while other model variations exhibit LRD, it is only those with TPT-distributed ON times that queueing performance is poor. These results lead us to propose a procedure for extracting performancerelevant correlation properties, whose effectiveness we demonstrate via simulation experiments using synthetic and measured traffic.

A simulation study on the relevant time scales of the input traffic for a tandem network
Network traffic processes can exhibit properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence, i.e., correlations over a wide range of time scales. However, as already shown by several authors for the case of a single queue, the second-order behavior at time scales beyond the so-called correlation horizon or critical time scale does not significantly affect network performance. In this work, we...

Current network modeling practices usually assess the network performance at specified time interval, i.e. every 5 or 10 years time horizon. Furthermore, they are usually based on partially predictable data, which are being generated through various stochastic procedures. In this research, a new quantitative based methodology which combines combinatorial optimization modeling and transportation...

Traffic assignment algorithms are used to determine possible use of paths between origin-destination pairs and predict traffic flow in network links. One of the main deficiencies of ordinary traffic assignment methods is that in most of them one measure (mostly travel time) is usually included in objective function and other effective performance measures in traffic assignment are not considere...
