We investigate the time scale of interest of queuing systems fed by a fBm process. We also introduce the Fractal Leaky Bucket, a novel policing mechanism which is able to accurately monitor self-similar sources. Moreover, we show expressions for computing the equivalent bandwidth of an aggregate of heterogeneous self-similar sources. } }
