Abstract

In the paper is investigated fractal and multifractal properties of the real network traffic, such as Ethernet, TCP, UDP and the simulated fractal (self-similarity) traffic based on the fractional Gaussian noise (FGN) process. The obtained results show that the modern network traffic may be better characterized by multifractal analysis, since this approach describes both local and global features of the process. The broad multifractal Legendre spectrum of TCP, UDP and Ethernet traffic indicates multifractal behavior, whereas the narrow Legendre spectrum of FGN process indicates loss of multifractality.
