Abstract: We develop a non-parametric statistical test for self-similarity based on the
crossing tree and use simulation experiments to test its performance.
It is applied to a number of packet traces both to determine the range of scales over
which they appear self-similar and to detect temporal changes in the mean packet arrival
rate and/or scaling behaviour.
