Abstract
It has become clear that the traditional Poisson model of data network traffic is insufficient for dimensioning and analyzing the performance of real-life networks.Fractal models are more appropriate for simulating the self-similar behavior of data traffic.To understand self-similarity on physical grounds in a realistic network environment is important when developing efficient and integrated network frameworks within which end-to-end QoS guarantees are fully supported. OPNET features the Raw Packet Generator (RPG) which contains several implementations of self-similar sources. This paper uses fractal analysis to characterize increasingly bursty industrial control network traffic.The goal is to develop a better understanding of the fractal nature of network traffic, which in turn will lead to more efficiency and better quality of services on industrial control network traffic. We present a comparison between the different RPG models in OPNET Modeler.
