The results of experimental studies of self-similarity of the investigated computer network traffic, are presented. To determine the Hurst parameter, scalable sequence range value of random variables time double turnover is calculated for frames sent from the source computer to the destination computer without intermediate transit nodes between them. Similar investigations are carried out for the flow of frames sent to the address loopback, i.e. stream entering the network adapter input. An alternative way to calculate the scaled range value is an aggregation method used in determining the self-similar process dispersion. On the basis of analysis of the obtained Hurst exponent values calculated by two methods, it is concluded that the computer network traffic is self-similar.
