Abstract

In this paper, we investigated a Poisson cluster process as runs of packet arrivals on the Internet. This model assumes that the Poisson cluster process is characterized by runs of packets which correspond to defined clusters in the Poisson process. Using the form of the length runs we studied the probability of a general number of cluster runs in the data stream. We illustrated how the obtained results can be used for the analysis of the real-life Internet traffic.
