Title
A Novel Approach to the Estimation of the Hurst Parameter in Self-Similar Traffic
Abstract
We present a new method to estimate the Hurst parameterof the increment process in network traffic -- a process that is assumed to be self-similar. The confidenceintervals and biasedness are obtained for theestimates using the new method. This new method isthen applied to pseudo-random data and to real trafficdata. We compare the performance of the newmethod to that of the widely-used wavelet method, anddemonstrate that the former is much faster and producesmuch smaller confidence intervals of the Hurstparameter estimate. We believe that the new methodcan be used as an on-line estimation tool for H andthus be exploited in the new TCP algorithms that exploitthe known self-similar and long-range dependentnature of network traffic.
