Abstract
It is known that many quantities that determine the network characteristics of the functioning of an infocommunication network have probability distributions with "heavy tails", which can have a significant impact on network performance. Models with heavy-tailed distributions tend to be difficult to analyze. The analysis can be simplified by using an algorithm to approximate a heavy-tailed distri-bution by a hyperexponential distribution (a finite mixture of exponentials). The paper presents a algorithm for calculating the parameters of the hyperexponential distribution components, which is based on a recursive selection of parameters. This algorithm allows you to analyze various models of queues, including G/G/1. It is shown that the approach under consideration is applicable to the approxi-mation of monotonically decreasing distributions, including those with a "heavy tail". Examples of approximation of Pareto and Weibull distributions are given.
