This paper reports our measurements and analysis of traffic characteristics in an Internet backbone ATM network. In order to utilize network resource efficiently while satisfying the quality of service requirement, it is important to understand the traffic characteristics. We therefore monitored the traffic from the flow or application level to the cell level on a link between NTT's Open Computer Network (OCN) and the Science Information Network (SINET), which are two of the largest Internet backbone ATM-based networks in Japan. Using the monitored traffic, we also evaluated the performance of the aggregate traffic by real-time simulation. Results show that the performance (cell loss ratio) greatly depended not only on link utilization but also on the number of flows, flow size, and traffic composition in terms of applications. We also found that the degree of self-similarity in the Internet backbone was not large. In addition, we clarified that more statistical multiplexing gain could be obtained in the Internet backbone when more flows were multiplexed onto a link.
