Summary:
The emergence of the Internet, Intranets and distributed computing in general has generated intense interest in the performance of these networks. Over the past five years, researchers have begun looking at the traffic patterns and bandwidth requirements for networks and discovered that a self-similar, or fractal pattern exists in the network traffic volume. This book is a collected work of the top researchers in the field, who cover all aspects of this topic.
