Abstract :
This paper introduces the computation of an expression for the time at which the length of a queue fed by several multifractal flows reaches its maximum. Expressions for the equivalent bandwidth of an aggregate of multifractal flows are also presented. Moreover, it is shown that modelling based on monofractal process rather than based on multifractal processes leads to overprovisioning of resources.
