what is bursty traffic?

[ashraf_can2]

Hi there! I will very much appreciate it if someone can tell me the meaning of "bursty traffic".

I've come across this term but none of the books I have or other resources I've used explain this term clearly. I'd appreciate it very much if someone can help me out.

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards,

Ashraf.

Bursty - inconsistant traffic levels .... usually some value as nominal / mormal / sustained with "bursts" of more traffic ... a sudden traffic peak.

Data tends to be bursty... some low level if idle traffic with a sudden increase (like when someone clicks a web link and the return traffic is a dozen large photographs.

Does that help?

Good Luck

Scott
