Observations of both Ethernet traffic and variable bit rate (VBR) video traffic have
demonstrated that these traffics exhibit" self-similarity" and/or infinite asymptotic index of …

A much clearer picture of the progress toward an integrated high-speed multiservice network
is now emerging. Such networks were anticipated over 20 years ago, at a time when packet …

A crucial problem for the efficient design and management of integrated services networks is
how to best allocate network resources for heterogeneous and bursty traffic streams in …

This paper presents a survey of existing techniques for traffic characterization in
telecommunication networks with the objective of providing a framework for further research …

Dans ce chapitre, nous allons voir les principes des r eseaux qui vont directement nous
concerner par la suite, ATM et DQDB. Le but n'est pas d'examiner leur comportement en d …

A queueing network structured as a directed tree, where only transmissions towards its head
are allowed, is considered. Input to each queue is assumed to follow a discrete-time …

It has been observed by many authors that under reasonable regularity conditions, the
stationary distribution of queued work in a queueing system has an exponential tail. This has …

The greatly variable requirements of different applications, particularly those of video and
data sources, make high demands on the development of traffic control in ATM networks. A …

A connection admission control scheme based on the Gaussian traffic model is proposed.
According to the scheme every call declares only its peak rate. Its statistics are then …

We consider the P/sub i/-persistent protocol and we derive approximate analytical results for
the unfinished work distribution at each node on the bus under the assumption that the …
