Estimating Heavy-Tail Exponents Through Max Self-Similarity
: In this paper, a novel approach to the problem of estimating the heavy–tail exponent α > 0 of a distribution is proposed. It is based on the fact that block–maxima of siz...

Modeling TCP throughput: An elaborated large-deviations-based model and its empirical validation
In today's Internet, a large part of the traffic is carried using the TCP transport protocol. Characterization of the variations of TCP traffic is thus a major challenge, bot...
