We propose to characterize the burstiness of packet arrival processes with indices of dispersion for intervals and for counts. These indices, which are functions of the variance of intervals and counts, are relatively straightforward to estimate and convey much more information than simpler indices, such as the coefficient of variation, that are often used to describe burstiness quantitatively.
