This paper describes three visually interactive tools for the analysis, modeling, and generation of long-range dependent (LRD) network traffic. The synTraff toolkit uses a three-step modeling approach based on F-ARIMA processes to generate monofractal traffic; the WsynTraff toolkit implements the Wavelet-domain Independent Gaussian (WIG) model from the literature for representing multifractal traffic; and the MsynTraff toolkit models multifractal traffic using the Multifractal Wavelet Model (MWM) from the literature. All three tools can be used to generate synthetic LRD traffic streams for use in network simulations.
