Abstract：Since self-similarity is a common property of traffic in the broadband networks,it is crucial to consider its impact on network management and traffic control.Nowadays,research on self-similar traffic control has been widely noticed.Some results prove that self-similar traffic exhibits different queueing features from the traditional models.Considering on the quality of service and traffic control mechanism,this paper investigates the impact of self-similar traffic on some traffic control mechanisms such as traffic shaping,Usage Parameter Control and Connection Admission Control,and obtains some important conclusions.
