Abstract
Recent empirical studies of the real traffic measurement show that the traditional traffic models cannot capture the character of long-range dependence of the traffic. And many computer simulations said that this character has large influences on the network performance. So fractal or self-similar models are more suitable to describe the modern traffic. But there is still little known about the performance of the multiplexer under self-similar traffic. In this paper, a quasi-self-similar traffic model (QSSP) is proposed. Using this model, the upper bond of the cell loss rate and multiplexing gain of the multiplexer are gotten when there are N i.i.d. QSSP inputs. If the sources have different parameters, an efficient numerical algorithm to get this bond is proposed. Simulations indicate that our analysis is correct and accurate.
