Self-similar processes are widely accepted as a realistic modeling tool for intenet traffic. In this paper, we introduce various generation methods for self-similar traffic. Among them, the M/G/∞ method seems to be very promising as a basic tool for a self-similar traffic generator since it is flexible in parameter control, computationally efficient, and intuitively appealing most of all. We briefly mention an M/G/∞-based framework to analyze self-similar internet traffic.
