The paper examines the ability of neural networks to classify Internet traffic data in terms of self-similarity expressed by the Hurst exponent. Fractional Gaussian noise is used for the generation of synthetic data for modeling the genuine ones. It is presented that the trained model is capable of classifying the synthetic data obtained from the Pareto distribution and the real traffic data. We present the results of training for different optimizers of the cost function and a different number of convolutional layers in the neural network.
