The Failure of "The Failure of Poisson Modeling" for Internet Bandwidth Measurements

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview There is a classic paper, which claims that many parameters of network traffic are best modeled by stochastic distributions with infinite variance. The author believes that although this paper is correct, it has commonly been overinterpreted. It is true that some distributions have infinite variance, but not all. There are important cases where distributions of traffic parameters have finite variance. As an example, the paper shows that the end-to-end available bandwidth must have finite variance, outline a method for measuring it, and present some experimental data.

Telco-friendly Ethernet 'ready for action'

The MEF specifications couch network parameters in terms which telcos will understand, including "Ethernet virtual circuits", which mimic the virtual circuits on ATM networks, and "committed information rates" and "peak information rates" like...

Verizon scorns net neutrality fight

Even without the amendment, however, the FCC already has taken action in cases of blocking traffic. Hoewing said Verizon is able to slice up bandwidth on its high-speed Fios service based on different lasers and different frequencies.

3.5G laptops to overwhelm mobile networks?

Lee Doyle, group VP and general manager of network infrastructure and security products and services at IDC, said in a statement: "The findings of this survey make it very plain that bandwidth is not infinite.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
