Abstract Local area networks traffic and Internet traffic have been analysed for the last 25 years to obtain accurate characteristics that will be used in traffic models. Traditionally, traffic sources were simulated using a Poisson process model, that had the advantage of being easily generated. But as real traffic has been studied, it has been shown that real traffic properties differ from Poisson traffic properties. When designing new communication systems, different alternatives have to be compared with respect to performance, as a first step. In particular when no implementations is available, modelling is often the only way to evaluate quantitatively the alternatives. Besides a model for the system operation, there is a need for traffic models describing the characteristics of the load of the system resource.
