            Abstract : 
This paper compares the efficacy of two measurement based equivalent bandwidth estimators: the Gaussian approximation allocation and the one based on fractal envelope process. These estimators represent a trade-off between accuracy and computational complexity. The estimators were evaluated under different scenarios using video, voice and data traffic.
