Hi,

I am a graduate student in computer science with not much back ground
in statistics, specifically TIME SERIES analysis.

As part of my work, i am trying to analyze the behavior of computer
network traffic on the campus backbone.
Each record in the data set consists of (among others):
	1. Packet arrival time
	2. Packet size
	3. Packet type.

I would like to fit a model to the data set so that i can predict:
	1. Arrival of packets on the network
	2. Packet size

Another important point (in my view) is to be able to characterize the
"Bursty" nature of traffic.

I have done considerable measurements and analysis on the traffic from
a networks viewpoint (and published it) and i would like to back it up 
with a "good" time series model.

I would appreciate any help and guidance on this problem. If anyone else 
is working on a similar problem, maybe we could continue this discussion
(offline). 
Please post your replies or send me E-mail.

Thanks in advance.
