Abstract :
This paper reviews and discusses the known definitions and properties of second-order self-similar discrete-time processes and supplements them with some more general conditions of self-similarity. A model for ATM cell traffic is presented and self-similarity conditions of this model are found. This study is motivated by observations that traffic in many real communication networks is self-similar in nature
