Tra c ow : a statistical physics point of view
نویسنده
چکیده
The investigation of tra c ow problems has a long tradition and various methods and approaches have been applied. In this review we focus on statistical mechanics and nonequilibrium aspects. It is shown that many properties of tra c ow can be modelled successfully by using rather simple cellular automaton models. Analytical methods for the investigation of discrete models are presented in some detail. Apart from highway tra c, also the modelling of city tra c and pedestrian dynamics will be discussed. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 45.70.Vn; 02.50.Ey; 05.40.−a; 05.60.−k

Tcp Traac Is Multifractal: a Numerical Study
The apparent fractal properties of TCP data tra c have recently attracted con siderable interest Most prominently fractional Brownian motion FBM has been used to model the long range dependence of tra c traces through self similarity Tra c being by nature a process of positive increments though a multifractal ap proach appears more natural In this study various traces of TCP tra c have been ana...

We analyze two traces of TCP tra c recorded at the gateway of a LAN corre sponding to two hours at Berkeley and to eight hours at CNET labs respectively We are mainly interested in a multifractal approach which we introduce with var ious examples We elaborate on the di erence to mono fractal statistical tests being used so far Though we nd statistical self similarity the data is clearly not mon...
متن کاملMulti-level Rate-based Flow Control for ABR Tra c
The rate control mechanism for Available Bit Rate ABR tra c as de ned by the ATM Forum does not distinguish between di erent types of ABR connections However since ABR tra c may result from a heterogeneous set of applications there is an apparent need for a ow control scheme that can distinguish between and give di erential treatment to di erent classes of ABR connections In this study a multi ...
متن کاملMultifractal Products of Stochastic Processes: Fluid Flow Analysis
The consideration of multifractal properties in network tra c has become a well-known issue in network performance evaluation. We analyze the performance of a uid ow bu er fed by multifractal tra c described by Norros, Mannersalo and Riedi [1]. We describe speci c steps in uid ow analysis, both for nite and in nite bu er sizes, and point out how to overcome numerical problems. We discuss perfor...
متن کاملA Reduced-Load Equivalence for Generalised Processor Sharing Networks with Long-Tailed Input Flows
We consider networks where tra c is served according to the Generalised Processor Sharing (GPS) principle. GPS-based scheduling algorithms are considered important for providing di erentiated quality of service in integrated-services networks. We are interested in the workload of a particular ow i at the bottleneck node on its path. Flow i is assumed to have long-tailed tra c characteristics. W...
