Abstract

The Internet traffic being extremely variable and bursty in a wide range of time scales is usually characterised by a self-similarity parameter (β), which describes its statistics depending on the scales of resolution. We study the characteristics on some recent data and observe that it can have another parameter which is its fractal dimension (D).
