Abstract:
We analyze higher-order statistics of the length of the series of consecutive packet losses at the router's output buffer. So far, only the average length of the series of losses has been studied, in the context of the quality of real-time multimedia transmissions. In this paper, we compute the coefficient of variation, skewness and excess kurtosis of the length of the series of losses, using a complex traffic model. Then we study the influence of properties of the queue and the traffic on these higher-order statistics. In particular, we study the impact of the autocorrelation of packet interarrival times, the batch structure of the traffic, the buffer capacity and the load of the queue on the coefficient of variation, skewness and kurtosis and discuss their potential impact on the quality of multimedia transmissions perceived by end users.
