This paper deals with analytical concepts for performance evaluation of packet switching mobile radio networks. A realistic characterisation of source traffic with means of marked Markovian arrival processes (MMAP) serves as an input process for a queuing model. The analysis of this model permits to derive the quantities of interest and allows to determine the achievable quality of service, which is quantified in terms of packet delays and packet losses. The applicability of the presented…

TLDR
By evaluation of WWW traffic generated during stochastic simulation, it is shown that important characteristics of recent Internet traffic are depicted by Vornefeld's analytical source model, finding that the analytical approach is well suited for understanding the general impact of various system parameters.

Wide area traffic: the failure of Poisson modeling
TLDR
It is found that user-initiated TCP session arrivals, such as remote-login and file-transfer, are well-modeled as Poisson processes with fixed hourly rates, but that other connection arrivals deviate considerably from Poisson.
