Has anyone done statistical traffic characterization for backbone 
traffic on an FDDI LAN.  For example, in an R&D environment, or a 
corporate environment.  

I am hoping to create a model of "typical" FDDI traffic in particular
environments, by matching a multi-state model to empirically observed
statistical parameters.

The type of statistics that are most useful to monitor are:
burst size distributions, peak bandwidths, mean bandwidth, number of 
simultaneous users, traffic mixes, access peak bandwidth speeds, 
etc, for various type of applications, and environments.

Any references or data would be welcomed.  

Cheers, 
  Eric Dormer.
