Seminarium i matematisk statistik fredagen den 28 januari 13.15 i MH:227 Åke Arvidsson Ericsson Utvecklings AB Titel: Modelling of Elastic Packet Traffic Abstract: Recent measurements of web traffic have reported large variations over time in a fractal like manner. Some researchers have concluded that this leads to considerable queuing problems for web traffic. We have tested this hypothesis and show that this hypothesis is wrong. We elaborate on the above research and discuss our conclusions as well as fundamental but new questions raised by our conclusions.
