Long-range dependence in DataCenter networks transmission

The paper presents the mechanisms of long-range dependence measurement in the context of data transmission in Data Center networks. The research involved mainly analyzing network traffic generated by protocols such as CIFS and iSCSI, which are commonly used in such infrastructures. The purpose of the paper was to determine whether the network traffic of above mentioned protocols encapsulated in TCP/IP protocol will have persistent, anti-persist, or random walk character. By indicating long-range dependencies for this type of network traffic, it will be possible to develop effective mechanisms for detecting anomaly in its transmission as well as flow control, including QoS mechanisms, load balancing, etc.
