Abstract :
In this letter we Introduce a new traffic policing mechanism able to deal with multifractal sources. The ability of monitoring accurately a traffic flow is of extreme importance to avoid malicious behavior on the part of some users and to guarantee the required quality of service of other users. The proposed policing mechanism approximates an ideal algorithm.
