Possible Test Topics

Autocorrelation

255 point zero mean discrete time
White Noise waveform
(Adjacent points are independent)

Autocorrelation Estimate
of zero mean
Discrete Time White Noise

255 point Noise Waveform
(Low Pass Filtered White Noise)

Autocorrelation Estimate of Low Pass Filtered White Noise

Autocorrelation in ATM Cell Stream
Each cell slot randomly On or Off (Empty)

Autocorrelation in ATM Cell Stream
On & Off bursts average 20 cells

Queue Size: 71% vs 100% Load

Queue Size: σ2 = 5.8 vs σ2 = 2.9
ρ = 0.99

Queue Size: Correlated vs Uncorrelated 
σ2 = 4.93 & ρ = 0.99

Packet Switched StatMux

Statistical Multiplexed Packet Switch

Exponentially Distributed Inter-Arrival Time
(Not a good fit to real world traffic)

Exponentially Distributed Packet Length
(Somewhat decent fit to real world traffic)

Little's Rule

M/G/1

M/M/1 Queues

Classical M/M/1 Queuing Theory
