The hurst parameter for digital signature of network segment

Abstract

This paper presents results of the Hurst parameter for digital signature of network segments. It's also presented a model for digital signature automatic generation which aims at the characterization of traffic in network segments. The use of the digital signature allows the manager to: identify limitations and crucial points of the network; establish the real use of network resources; better control the use of resources and the establishment of thresholds for the generation of more accurate and intelligent alarms which suit the real network characteristics. The obtained results validate the experiment and show in practice significant advantages in networks management. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
