摘要:A number of studies on traffic measurement from a variety of working networks have
demonstrated that actual network traffic is self-similar in nature (traffic observed at
different time resolutions has similar statistical properties and this phenomenon cannot
be modeled well by traditional traffic models such as Poisson and Markovian processes).
The causes of self-similarity of network traffic must be identified because understanding
the nature of network traffic is critical in order to properly design and implement
computer networks and network services. In this paper, the effects of TCP congestion
control mechanism on traffic self-similarity are investigated.
