Overview

This project concerns traffic measurements and analysis in computer networks. The main focus is on methods and methodology for measurements and analysis, but tools for measurement are also a part of the project. Traffic measurement and analysis is important in todays and future networks. More powerful methods are however needed. Traffic characterization is an important first step towards development of more precise and powerful models for analysis or synthesis of traffic. Problems studied in this project include: models for generation of synthetic traffic, aggregated traffic and flow stability, and dynamic measurements for routing and load balancing.
