Multifractal-based multiplicative cascades model for network applications

A computer network is a telecommunications network that allows computers to share, exchange, and transmit data. Thus, the network flow rate is very critical. How to measure the flow rate attracted large number of attentions from both academia and practical parties. This paper proposes a multifractal-based multiplicative cascades model for network applications, especially to analyze the test the network flow rate. It is observed that the fitting is well so that the proposed model is able to work out the flow rate in the network applications. In addition, the model using the multifractal-based multiplicative cascades is able to illustrate the trends of the flow rate in the network applications.
