Abstract:
In literature, several studies have shown the presence of fractal nature in a wide variety of traffic and the impact of these phenomena on network performance. In this paper, we derive a new expression for effective bandwidth estimation in order to offer better resource allocation in network planning and design, especially for network traffic with multifractal characteristics. Based on a new construction approach for conservative multiplicative cascades proposed in literature and the corresponding multifractal traffic parameters, a global scaling parameter is determined and used together with the multifractal traffic model parameters for the effective bandwidth computation. The proposed approach was validated in terms of dynamically allocated bandwidths.
