Internet traffic exhibits multifaceted burstiness and correlation structure over a wide span of time scales. This paper focuses on shorter scales, typically less than 100-1000 milliseconds. The objective is to identify the actual mechanisms that are mostly responsible for creating bursty traffic in those scales. It shows that TCP self-clocking, joint with queueing in the network, can shape the packet inter-arrivals of a TCP connection in a two-level ON-OFF pattern. This structure creates strong correlations and burstiness in time scales that extend up to the Round-Trip Time (RTT) of the connection, especially for bulk transfers that have a large bandwidth delay product relative to their window size.
