Data Network Models of Burstiness
We review characteristics of data traffic which we term {\it
stylized facts\/}: burstiness, long range dependence, heavy tails,
bursty behavior determined by high bandwidth users, dependence
determined by users without high transmission rates. We propose an
infinite source Poisson input model which accounts for traffic in
adjacent time slots. This model has the ability to account for many
of the stylized facts.
