Fractal behavior and long-range dependence are widely observed in measurements and characterization of traffic flow in high-speed computer networks of different technologies and coverage levels. This paper presents the results obtained when applying fractal analysis techniques on a time series obtained from traffic captures coming from an application server connected to the internet through a high-speed link. The results obtained show that traffic flow in the dedicated high-speed network link exhibited fractal behavior since the Hurst exponent was in the range of 0.5, 1, the fractal dimension between 1, 1.5, and the correlation coefficient between -0.5, 0. Based on these results, it is ideal to characterize both the singularities of the fractal traffic and its impulsiveness during a fractal analysis of temporal scales. Finally, based on the results of the time series analyzes, the fact that the traffic flows of current computer networks exhibited fractal behavior with a long-range dependence was reaffirmed.

This paper presents an extension of the models used to generate fractal traffic flows in high-speed computer networks by means of the formulation of a model that considers the use of one-dimensional chaotic maps. Based on the disaggregation of the temporal series generated, a valid explanation of behavior of the values of Hurst exponent is proposed and the feasibility of their control from the parameters of the proposed model is shown.

A novel constructive mathematical model based on the multifractal formalism in order to accurately characterizing the localized fluctuations present in the course of traffic flows today high-speed computer networks is presented. The proposed model has the target to analyze self-similar second-order time series representative of traffic flows in terms of their roughness and impulsivity.

This article explores the required amount of time series points from a high-speed traffic network to accurately estimate the Hurst exponent. The methodology consists in designing an experiment using estimators that are applied to time series, followed by addressing the minimum amount of points required to obtain accurate estimates of the Hurst exponent in real-time. The methodology addresses the exhaustive analysis of the Hurst exponent considering bias behavior, standard deviation, mean square error, and convergence using fractional gaussian noise signals with stationary increases. Our results show that the Whittle estimator successfully estimates the Hurst exponent in series with few points. Based on the results obtained, a minimum length for the time series is empirically proposed. Finally, to validate the results, the methodology is applied to real traffic captures in a high-speed network based on the IEEE 802.3ab standard.

This paper proposes a multifractal model, with the aim of providing a possible explanation for the locality phenomenon that appears in the estimation of the Hurst exponent in stationary second order temporal series representing self-similar traffic flows in current high-speed computer networks. It is shown analytically that this phenomenon occurs if the network flow consists of several components with different Hurst exponents.
