In this paper we give an overview of methods that, on the one hand, allow us to capture important traffic properties like slow decay rate, Hurst parameter, scaling factor, etc., and, on the other hand, makes possible the quantitative analysis of the studied systems using the effective analysis approach called matrix geometric method.
The presentation of this analysis approach is associated with a discussion on the properties and limits of Markovian fitting of the typical non-Markovian behavior present in telecommunication networks.
