Abstract

Previous studies of Internet traffic have shown that a very small percentage of flows consume most of the network bandwidth. It is important to take such flows into account when measuring the network traffic self-similarity. This paper proposes a traffic measurement algorithm for self similar traffic: Adaptive sampling algorithm. This algorithm uses multistage filters and adaptation mechanism to concentrate on large flows. Using analysis and simulation, this algorithm is shown to effectively reflect the bursts of self-similar traffic over multiple time scales and can improve accuracy when network flows are self-similar.

Keywords: Traffic measurement ,network traffic self-similarity, traffic sampling .
