The Modified On/Off Model

In [6], a structural modeling approach is proposed to provide a direct link between the observed self­similarity characteristic of measured aggregate network traffic, and the strong empirical evidence in favor of heavy­tailed, infinite variance phenomena at the level of individual network connections. In particular, many On/Off sources with the pareto distributed On and Off time, can generate the aggregated self-similar traffic. This is very useful in the simulation study.
