Opis

Multifractal Based Network Traffic Modeling provides an overview of existing broadband traffic modeling based on the Poisson process and its variants like the MM1 models. It also provides very good coverage of models based on self-similar processes. Throughout the book, the authors have focused on the problem of broadband traffic modeling keeping in mind long range dependencies in broadband traffic. Graduate students, researchers, and individuals new to the areas of teletraffic modeling and communication network engineering will find this work especially helpful. The book could also be used as a textbook for a graduate level course on Teletraffic Modeling.
