| Abstract: | Recent measures on LANs have highlighted the self-similar nature of the traffic. A systematic procedure to design a 1D chaotic map, which generates a self-similar process characterised by a polynomial OFF time distribution, is considered and reviewed. This polynomial law allows the performance of a queue system to be investigated by extending the G/M/l theory to the case of discrete arrival and service processes. Analytical results are reported highlighting the impact of the traffic self-similar degree and simulations show the validity of the developed theory |
