Abstract
Fluctuations of information flow in a public domain of the Internet are ana lyzed in view of statistical physics. It is shown that the characteristics of the massive traffics can be well described by the framework of dynamic p hase transition between sparse and congested phases. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie nce B.V.
