Concluding remarks
We used trace-driven simulation experiments to demonstrate that long-range dependence is an important traffic characteristic.
The delay performance obtained with the genuine traffic trace is qualitatively different from the performance predicted by Poisson arrival processes.
In the case of moderate and high network utilizations, short-range dependent traffic source models (Poisson arrivals) underestimate queueing delays.
