Many objects in the real world, such as s.

It also has important consequences for the design of computer networks, as typical network traffic has self-similar properties. For example, in Telecommunications Traffic Engineering , Packet Switched data traffic patterns seem to be statistically self-similar. This property means that simple models using a Poisson Distribution are inaccurate, and networks designed without taking self-similarity into account are likely to function in unexpected ways.
