Abstract

The purpose of the paper is two-fold: first, characterize the Internet data traffic at high levels, i.e., flows and sessions, with the principal aim of comparing the salient features shown by different types of applications, namely P2P on one hand and classical Internet applications in the other. Second, among the observed traffic characteristics, we particularly focus on the way bandwidth is actually shared by flows and users by developing an empirical bandwidth sharing model. We infer from it some trends shown by the different classes of traffic in terms of elasticity, i.e., their potential reaction against congestion.
