Nonlinear modeling of the internet delay structure

Modeling the Internet delay structure is an important issue in designing large-scale distributed systems. However, linear models fail to characterize Triangle Inequality Violations (TIV), motivating us to research on nonlinear ones. In this paper, we propose the methodology and design of nonlinear modeling by utilizing Kernel Methods(KM), which is demonstrated effective by simulation. Moreover, our nonlinear model is easy to be applied without introducing any measurement overhead.
