Abstract:
We propose a two level model for TCP connection arrivals
in local area networks. The first
level are user sessions whose arrival is time-varying Poisson. The
second level are connections within a user session. Their number
and mean interarrival are independent and biPareto across user
session. The interarrivals within a user session are Weibull,
and across all users are correlated Weibull. Our
model has a small number of parameters which are inferred from
real traffic collected a a firewall. We show that traffic
synthesized with our model closely characterizes the original data.
