Abstract

The fractal nature of Internet traffic has been observedby several measurements and statistical studies.In this pa-per a new monofractal stochastic process called Limit of theIntegrated Superposition of Diffusion processes with Lin-ear differential Generator (L SDLG)is presented, which ef-fectively characterizes network traffic monofractality.Sev-eral properties of the L SDLG model are presented includ-ing covariance structure, cumulants, spectrum and bispec-trum. The model captures high-order statistics by meansof the cumulants. The relevance and validation of the pro-posed model are demonstrated by application studies formeasured Internet traffic.
