An Exponential Arrival Model for Half-Life 2 Server Discovery Traffic
"... Abstract—Online multiplayer first person shooter (FPS) clients typically discover public game servers through a two-step process. A master server is queried for a list of current game servers, who are then sequentially probed (creating a 24-hour cycle of background noise for FPS game servers). Using ..."

). Using 3 million probe packets received by a Half-Life 2 server in February and April 2006, we show arrivals exhibit exponentially distributed, uncorrelated inter-probe intervals during both busiest and least-busy hours of a day. We further show a modified Laplace curve is a reasonable per-hour estimator
Wide-Area Traffic: The Failure of Poisson Modeling
- IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING
, 1995
"... Network arrivals are often modeled as Poisson processes for analytic simplicity, even though a number of traffic studies have shown that packet interarrivals are not exponentially distributed. We evaluate 24 wide-area traces, investigating a number of wide-area TCP arrival processes (session and con ..."

Moment characterization of matrix exponential and Markovian arrival processes
- ANN OPER RES
"... This paper provides a general framework for establishing the relation between various moments of matrix exponential and Markovian processes. Based on this framework we present an algorithm to compute any finite dimensional moments of these processes based on a set of required (low order) moments. Th ..."

Binary Exponential Backoff is Stable for High Arrival Rates
, 1999
"... Goodman, Greenberg, Madras and March gave a lower bound of n 1 8 n) for the maximum arriaval rate for which the n-user binary exponential backo protocol is stable. Thus, they showed that the protocol is stable as long as the arrival rate is at most n 120 n) . We improve the lower bound, showin ..."

Stability, queue length and delay of deterministic and stochastic queueing networks
- IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
, 1994
"... Motivated by recent development in high speed networks, in this paper we study two types of stability problems: (i) conditions for queueing networks that render bounded queue lengths and bounded delay for customers, and (ii) conditions for queueing networks in which the queue length distribution of ..."

of a queue has an exponential tail with rate `. To answer these two types of stability problems, we introduce two new notions of traffic characterization: minimum envelope rate (MER) and minimum envelope rate with respect to `. Based on these two new notions of traffic characterization, we develop a
Stability Of Binary Exponential Backoff
, 1988
"... Binary exponential backoff is a randomized protocol for regulating transmissions on a multiple access broadcast channel. Ethernet, a local area network, is built upon this protocol. The fundamental theoretical issue is stability: does the backlog of packets awaiting transmission remain bounded in ti ..."

in time, provided the rates of new packet arrivals are small enough? It is assumed n 2 stations share the channel, each having an infinite buffer where packets accumulate while the station attempts to transmit the first from the buffer. Here, it is established that binary exponential backoff is stable

. This algorithm does not require the computation of any representation of the given process. We present a series of related results and numerical examples to demonstrate the potential use of the obtained moment relations.

Regenerative Simulation for Queueing Networks with Exponential or Heavier Tail Arrival Distributions
, 2014
"... Multiclass open queueing networks find wide applications in communication, computer and fabri-cation networks. Often one is interested in steady-state performance measures associated with these networks. Conceptually, under mild conditions, a regenerative structure exists in multiclass networks, mak ..."

corresponding to customer arrivals to an empty network constitute a regenerative structure. In this paper, we consider networks where the interarrival times are generally distributed but have exponential or heavier tails. We show that these distributions can be decomposed into a mixture of sums of independent
