A comparison between several adjustment models to simulated teletraffic data

In this paper we assess the suitability of the fractional Brownian motion and the Markovian modulated Poisson process to represent modern teletraffic data when we use them in dimensioning and quality of service studies. The procedure consists in adjusting a model of each family to a stream of data simulated with a physical model that emulates the real flow of data. Then, both models are profusely studied in order to establish which properties of the original data are captured.
