Abstract

A key problem for modem network designers is to characterize/model the "bursty" traffic arising in broadband networks with a view on predicting and guaranteeing performance. In this paper we attempt to unifL several approaches ranging from histogram/interval based methods to "frequency domain" approaches by further investigating the asymptotic behavior of a multiplexer carrying a large number of streams. This analysis reveals the salient traf fic/performance relationships which should guide us in selecting successful methods for traffic management and network dimensioning.
