Abstract

In the Internet era, there is a need to understand how traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) services and the new Internet services can coexist. The best-effort based IP network will have to maintain the level of service that customers from the PSTN world expect. This study contributes to the traffic engineering of such a system by presenting an analytical model for integrating voice over IP (VoIP) traffic with multi-fractal data traffic. This model is based on the stochastic fluid flow model. Effects on delay and loss performance of adding VoIP traffic to a data link as well as capacity requirements to maintain a certain quality of service are discussed
