Abstract
During a computer network activity there are many events which occur in certain moments of time with a given likelihood. The statistical aspect of this can be described by a probability density function of a random variable connected with the event time. The function in many cases has a specific feature which is not covered by any well known probability distributions. It has two maxima, in particular when time signal in network systems is measured. It is suggested that the function is a convolution of other ones. However, in order to simplify the probability modeling, a special distribution named if can be defined, especially for discrete variables. Interpretation of dual peak.
