Login times in e-mail servers are scale-free

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The login time distribution in e-mail servers are studied. The distribution seems to be decaying in a scale-free manner with a decay exponent lying between 1.2 and 2.2, varying from server to server. A simple mean-field theory shows that this distribution has a decay exponent 2.
