Research on self-similar network traffic prediction

Recent studies on network traffic have shown that self-similar is very popular, and the character will not be changed during buffering, switching and transmitting. The character self-similar must be considered in network traffic prediction. This paper analyzed and summarized the research results of self-similar network traffic prediction from the fields of self-similar modeling, parameter computing and performance prediction. An equivalent bandwidth algorithm of self-similar traffic prediction based on measurement was put forward. Our analysis has shown that the algorithm can effectively reduce computing and realizing complexities.
