This topic needs a title

Bonjour,

                 I am a student doing my Masters thesis. My query is that

1. what is the way to predict how a traffic will be arriving in router, by having a statistical information of the length of the bursts and the silence. (are there any papers which have worked on it)

2. Is it possible to improve the efficiency of a switching fabric if we know the traffic profile .

                 Thanks
