Link dimensioning for fractional Brownian input

Abstract

Abstract-This paper provides a new formula for dimensioning of a link fed by fractional Brownian input. This formula is obtained based on another new approximate result for the stationary workload distribution of a queue loaded by fractional Brownian input. An efficient approach to simulate such a queue is also presented. Agreement between the analytical and the simulation results has been demonstrated numerically.Index Terms-fractional Brownian noise, fractional Brownian motion, long range dependence, quality of service (QoS), link capacity dimensioning.
