- Modeling Internet Backbone Traffic at the Flow Level
- Modeling the Internet traffic is an important issue. It is unlikely that one will be able to understand the traffic characteristics, predict network performance (e.g., for QoS guarantees or Service Level Agreement definition), or design dimensioning tools without analytical models. The successful evolution of the Internet is tightly coupled to...
