This chapter is concerned with the impact of traffic correlations on the end-to-end delay of packets in a chain of IP routers represented by an open tandem queueing system. Particular consideration is given to Kleinrock's independence assumption on the performance impact of traffic correlation on packet switched networks with Poisson arrival processes and exponential packet length distributions. According to this assumption, any traffic correlations can be ignored and the effect on delay performance is negligible, subject to sufficient traffic mixing and moderate-to-heavy traffic loads. In this context, results associated with measurements, traffic modeling and delay analysis of an actual chain of IP routers are reported from experiments conducted at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden. It is shown that no experimental evidence was found in support of Kleinrock's independence assumption as traffic correlation has an adverse effect on the end-to-end delay of the tandem queueing system.
