In the context of network traffic analysis, we address the problem of estimating the tail index of flow (or more generally of any group) size distribution from the observation of...
Packet sampling is widely used in network monitoring. Sampled packet streams are often used to determine flow-level statistics of network traffic. To date there is conflicting e...

Abstract--After the seminal work by Taqqu et al. relating selfsimilarity to heavy-tailed distributions, a number of research articles verified that aggregated Internet traffic time...
Statistical information about the flow sizes in the traffic passing through a network link helps a network operator to characterize network resource usage, infer traffic demands,...
