The influence of network traffic correlation on the queueing performance

In this paper, the self-similarity characteristic of network traffic and its influence on the queuing performance are studied. The network simulator OPNET is applied to build a local wired experimental network and a campus wireless network. The queuing performance of these two kinds of network is analyzed based on the M/P/1 queuing model. The simulation results demonstrate the influence of traffic correlation on the queuing performance according to two important parameters, queuing delay and queue length.
