Diffusion approximation modeling for Markov modulated bursty traffic and its applications to bandwidth allocation in ATM networks.

We consider a statistical multiplexer model, in which each of the K sources is a Markov modulated rate process (MMRP). This formulation allows a more general source model than the well studied ?on-off? source model in characterizing variable bit rate (VBR) sources such as compressed video. In our mo...
