Abstract :
A method for fitting very long IP traffic traces to a Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) model is proposed in this paper. We compare our method to a previously published technique using several 24 hour traces. Our method is useful when the traces are very long and exhibit diurnal traffic changes
