1.2. Example: Same rv’s; different variation on different cones.

Let X and Z be iid Pareto(1) random variables and define

Y = X2 ∧ Z2.

1.2.1. Angular measures

For these examples we get the angular measure after polar co-ordinatetransformation

(x, y) 7→ (r, θ) := (x+ y,x

x+ y).

• On E,

S(dθ) =1

2[ε{0}(dθ) + ε{1}(dθ)],

where recall

{1, if x ∈ A;

0, if x /∈ A.

• For the standard form on E0 we have the angular measure

S(dθ) =1

θ5/3(1− θ)4/3dθ, 0 < θ < 1.

The density is not integrable near 0 or 1 so S is not a finite measureon (0, 1). Could change to a compact region in a neighborhood of∞.

• For the standard form on Eu

S(dθ) =

{θ−

32 (1− θ)− 3

2dθ, 12≤ θ < 1

0 0 ≤ θ < 12.

This is not integrable near 1 so S is not finite on [0, 1).

1.2.2. Angular measure finite or infinite?

Example of class of examples of standard regular variation on Eu in-dexed by distributions on [0,∞]. Suppose

R ∼ Pareto(1) on [1,∞), θ ≥ 0, θ ∼ G(·) on [0,∞].

Assume R ⊥⊥ θ. Define

(X, Y ) = (Rθ,R).

1.3. Reduction of multivariate regular variation to a one-dimensionalcriterion.

One can hope to dream up variants of the Cramer-Wold device toreduce multivariate regular variation to one dimensional regular vari-ation:

tP [Z∗

Example 1: d = 2; independent random quantities B,Y ,U with

and Y = (Y (1), Y (1)) is iid with

P [Y (1) > x] = x−1, x > 1

2. Network Input Models Based on Peak Rate in Sessions–where asymptotic independence does not rule.

Session: higher order construct typically obtained by amalgamatingeither

• packets (see Part II)

• connections

• groups of connections.

according to some chosen – and not unique– definition.

Recall modeling Approach

Sessions characterized by

• Initiation times {Γk} where often assume for tractability

{Γk} ∼ Poisson, rate λ.

• The mark or session descriptor of Γk:

(Sk, Dk, Rk) = (Size, Duration, Rate ),

where R is average rate in session:

Rk = Sk/Dk.

Assessing dependence structure of (S,D,R).

Consider

S = file size, total info in session, # bytes

D = duration of transmission or session,

R = throughput, rate = F/L.

All three, are usually (alas–not always) empirically seen to be heavytailed:

P [S > x] =x−αS`S(x)

P [L > x] =x−αD`D(x)

P [R > x] =x−αR`R(x).

Note: Segmenting data in various ways (eg by peak rate) may precludecertain segments from having R heavy tailed.

Empirical–Statistical Modeling from Packet Headers

Plausible goals:

• How to model Internet transmissions based on collected data ofindividual packet headers?

• Since the Internet behaves partly as a result of human stimulation,hope somewhere in this mess of data there lurk Poisson points.

• How to amalgamate packets into higher order entities which sim-plifiy modeling and allow fluid or continuous type models?

• What entity arrival times can plausibly be regarded as derivedfrom Poisson?

• Teach a computer to mimic Internet sessions and hence end userInternet behavior.

3. Data sessions

Definition 1 (Sarvotham et al. (2005)) A session is a cluster ofpackets with same source and destination network addresses, such thatthe delay between any two succesive packets in the cluster is less thana threshold t(= 2s).

Other definitions possible.

3.1. Session descriptors:

For each session, compute the following descriptors:

• S : Number of bytes transmitted (size).

• D : Duration of the session.

• R = S/D : Average transfer rate.

• Γ: Starting time.

• For studying burstiness, some measure of peak rate.

• Traffic sent to a University of Auckland server on December 8,1999, between 3 and 4 pm.

• Raw data: 1,177,497 packet headers.

• Harvest working data set of the form {(Si, Di, Ri,Γi) : 1 ≤ i ≤44, 136}.

Originally used by Sarvotham et al. (2005) to study of sources ofburstiness: Burstiness is important in order to understand congestionbecause of the sudden peak loads it introduces to the network; qosconcerns.

3.3. The alpha-beta split

Sarvotham et al. (2005)

Definition 2 (δ-maximum input) Pick δ > 0. Divide each sessioninto consecutive intervals of length δ (being sloppy at end). If a sessionis thus divided into l subintervals, let

Bi = # bytes transmitted over the ith subinterval, i = 1, . . . , l.

The δ-maximum input of a session is defined as Mδ =∨li=1Bi.

Definition 3 (Alpha-beta split) Choose a high threshold u. A ses-sion with a δ-maximum input Mδ is called

• alpha, if Mδ ≥ u,

• beta, if Mδ < u.

Empirical features

Sarvotham et al. (2005) found:

• Alpha-sessions are the major source of burstiness.

• In alpha-sessions: R ⊥⊥ S (sort of).

• In beta-sessions: R ⊥⊥ D (sort of).

• Split usually produces huge beta-group (≈ tens of thousands) vs.tiny alpha-group (< 100).

• Implies segmented sessions have different distribution in each seg-ment.

Does further segmentation of the beta-group produce meaningful in-formation?

Goals:

• Better description of dependence structure of (S,D,R) within seg-ment

• Simulation model.

3.4. Finer segmentation

Split the data into m groups of approximately equal size according tothe empirical quantiles of the burstiness predictor or covariate; we hadto define a new definition of peak rate.

Will use m = 10 and speak of the decile groups. Split into decilegroups.

Features:

• Rather than a beta-group, we have 9 groups each with the peakrate covariate in a given decile range.

• Claim the alpha-beta split masks further structure and it is infor-mative to take into account the explicit level of the covariate.

3.5. Peak rate

Definition 4 For a session with n packets:

B′i =# bytes in ith packet,

T ′i =interarrival time between ith and (i+ 1)st packet,

i = 1, . . . , n− 1. For k = 2, . . . , n, the peak rate of order k is

P (k) =n−k+1∨i=1

∑i+k−1j=i B′j∑i+k−2j=i T ′j

.

The P (k) is the maximum transfer rate using only k consecutive pack-ets.The peak rate is defined as

P∨ =n∨k=2

P (k).

[Makes sense empirically but would be difficult to work with analyti-cally.]

• Study the marginals of (S,D,R) in the 10 decile groups. (Heavytails?)

• Study dependence structure of (S,D) using EVT across the decilegroups.

• For our definition of peak rate, P∨, within a decile group, datasessions are initiated according to a homogeneous Poisson process.

4. Structure of (S,D,R).

4.1. Heavy tails

Definition 5 Convenient to use the γ parameterization. Call Y hasheavy tailed if its cdf F satisfies

F (y) = y−1/γ`(y),

where ` is slowly varying and γ > 0.

Quickie summary:

• In each decile group, (S,D) jointly heavy tailed w/o asymptoticindependence.

• R is only heavy tailed for the highest decile group;

• R does not appear to be even in a domain of attraction for anyof the 9 lower decile groups.

5. Dependence structure of (S,D)

• Dependence structure varies by decile. Seen already in simplescatter plots.

• Assess dependence by computing angular measures which givefavored directions for big values of (S,D).

Comments

• Seek to relate the explicit level of P∨ with the dependence struc-ture of (S,D).

Seek global model: Hope the angular measure S can be approxi-mated by some Sψ where a (generalized linear) model links g(ψ) ∼decilegroup.

• Using QQ plots and sample acf’s can check within decile groups,session initiation times look Poisson. This is not true across thewhole data set–only when the data is segmented by decile group;also not true with other definitions of peak rate.

Sketch of simulation of heterogeneous traffic:

1. In the existing data set, each session has an associated P∨. Formthe EDF. Get a bootstrap sample of P∨ from this EDF and divideinto m = 10 samples according to the quantiles.

2. For each group, simulate the starting times of the sessions viahomogeneous Poisson process.

3. For each P∨j , compute the corresponding value of ψj from theGLM and use it to simulate an angle Θj from the logistic distri-bution.

4. Simulate the radius component Nj; use Pareto for the heavy tail.

5. Transform to Cartesian coordinates and then invert using fittedmarginal distributions to get back to the original scale where(Sj, Dj) do not have same tails.Compute Rj = Sj/Dj.

What about R?

• Except for highest decile, R is not in a domain of attraction andnot heavy tailed.

• We have evidence that

R− β(t)

α(t)

∣∣∣S > t⇒ G(·)

for α(t) > 0 and G a pm.

Allows application of an emerging theory of conditional extremevalues (CEV).

• Evidence that R|D cannot be modeled. How come?

6. Final thoughts

• Consistency issues for (S,D,R) where S/D = R. Why are

– (S,D) jointly heavy tailed and

– R|S > t has a limiting type

consistent.

Need theory to match empirical observation.

• Segmentation of sessions by application?

• Conditional on (deciles of) peak rate, sessions arrive according toa homogeneous Poisson. Use this theoretically. Overall traffic isa mixture?

• Sessions are better behaved after conditioning on peak rate. Butpeak rate is difficult to analyze based on packet level models.
