A new model for network traffic based on alpha-stable self-similar processes

This paper proposes a new network traffic model based on alpha-stable processes. Then the traces of three different self-similar models are simulated. Comparing the traces of the simulation data and the trace of the actual data, it is shown that the new model is better than the other models in fitting with the actual data.
