Abstract

This article addresses the use of Markovian models, based on discrete time MMPPs (dMMPPs), for modeling IP traffic. In order to describe the packet arrival process, we will present three traffic models that were designed to capture self-similar behavior over multiple time scales. The first model is based on a parameter fitting procedure that matches both the autocovariance and marginal distribution of the counting process (Salvador 2003). The dMMPP is constructed as a superposition of two-state dMMPPs (2-dMMPPs), designed to match the autocovariance function, and one designed to match the marginal distribution. The second model is a superposition of MMPPs, each one describing a different time scale (Nogueira 2003a). The third model is obtained as the equivalent to a hierarchical construction process that, starting at the coarsest time scale, successively decomposes MMPP states into new MMPPs to incorporate the characteristics offered by finer time scales (Nogueira 2003b). These two models are constructed by fitting the distribution of packet counts in a given number of time scales.
