Multifractal characteristic quantities of network traffic models

Abstract

This paper presents research on network flow behavior by adopting some new theories and tools. Firstly, the attractors of the network flow time sequence are reconstructed. Secondly, we find and classify four kinds of network flow with outburst character in a LAN, and study their multifractal spectrums in their reconstruction phase space. These effective micro parameters of the network traffic can be effectively exploited for the controlling and modeling of the network behaviors and the recognizing characterizes among the difference outburst traffic models. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
