On the analysis tools of traffic fractality

The deep changes undergone by network traffic have strongly impacted its statistical characterization. The traditional assumptions on traffic characteristics have been proven to be obsolete and a new formalism has been brought about to properly take into account traffic new properties. Accordingly, newly designed analysis tools have been proposed. Our work is focused on the presentation and the test of these tools of analysis, believing that we have first of all to be confident on the methods used to properly characterize network traffic.
