Abstract：In this paper, the effect on shaping of self-similar traffic is investigated through leaky bucket. Analysis and simulation show that the self-similar character of output traffic of the leaky bucket will be increased for long-range dependence traffic in heavy load con-dition because of the storage procedure. Furthermore, the heavier the short dependence traffic through the leak-bucket, the worse the performance of the network. Therefore, the storage procedure would be a rational explanation for the generation of the traffic self-similar characteristics.
