Abstract

When modelling and simulating networked control systems (NCSs) over TCP/IP network protocols, we obtained network traffic data sets with irregular behaviour. Analysing the data sets revealed multifractal network traffic. Typical data sets are given in this paper together with our preliminary analysis. The network architecture and traffic specifications that generated the multifractal traffic are also described in detail.
