Abstract :
A creative suit of hardware scheme that generates physical self-similar traffic is proposed for the first time. A novel optical Ethernet network analyzer is developed by using this scheme. The analyzer transmits self-similar traffic for networks with different Hurst parameter. The packet loss probability, delay and jitter performance can be measured by the analyzer. With two well-known and effective techniques to determine the presence and degree of self-similarity - Aggregated Variance method and R/S method, the statistical analysis of realistic streams generated by the analyzer is presented to verify the usability and reliability of the designed network analyzer.
