In telecommunication networks, traffic intensity is a measure of the average occupancy of a server or resource during a specified period of time , normally a busy hour .It is measured in traffic units erlangs and defined as the ratio of the time during which a facility is cumulatively occupied to the time this facility is available for occupancy. In a digital network, the traffic intensity is math frac a L R math where a is the average arrival rate of packets e.g. packets sec L is the average packet length e.g. in bits , and R is the transmission rate e.g. bits sec A traffic intensity greater than one erlang unit erlang means that the rate at which bits arrive exceeds the rate bits can be transmitted and queuing delay will grow without bound if the traffic intensity stays the same . If the traffic intensity is less than one erlang, then the router can handle more average traffic. Telecommunication operators are vitally interested in traffic intensity, as it dictates the amount of equipment they must supply.

Traffic mix is a traffic model in Teletraffic engineering telecommunication engineering and teletraffic theory. Definitions A traffic mix is a modelisation of user behaviour. In telecommunications, user behaviour activities may be described by a number of systems, ranging from simple to complex. For example, for plain old telephone service POTS , a sequence of connection requests to an exchange can be modelled by fitting negative exponential distributions to the average time between requests and the average duration of a connection. This in turn can be used to work out the utilisation of the line for the purposes of network planning and dimensioning. Objectives Traffic mix has two goals Network links dimensioning Network equipment dimensioning Both these functions are extremely important to network operators. If insufficient capability is deployed at a node for example, if a backbone router has 1 gigabit sec of switching capacity and more than this is offered then the risk of equipment failure increases, and customers experience poor service. However, if the network is overprovisioned the cost in equipment can be high. Most providers therefore seek to maximise the effect of their spending by maintaining an unused overhead capacity for growth, and expanding key nodes to relieve problem areas. Identification of these areas is accomplished by network dimensioning.

orphan date April 2010 In computer networking , promiscuous traffic , or cross talking , ref Inspired from the electronics term Crosstalk electronics crosstalk ref describes situations where a receiver configured to receive a particular data stream receives that data stream and others. Promiscuous traffic should not be confused with the promiscuous mode , which is a network card configuration. In particular, in multicast Internet socket socket networking, an example of promiscuous traffic is when a socket configured to listen on a specific multicast address group A with a specific port P, noted A P, receives traffic from A P but also from another multicast source. For instance, a socket is configured to receive traffic from the multicast group address 234.234.7.70, port 36000 noted 234.234.7.70 36000 , but receives traffic from both 234.234.7.70 36000 and 234.234.7.71 36000. This type of promiscuous traffic, due to a lack of address filtering, has been a recurring issue with certain Unix and Linux kernels ref Red Hat Bug 231899 multicast incorrect handling https bugzilla.redhat.com show bug.cgi?id 231899 ref ref Sun Microsystems forum Multicast socket problem http forums.sun.com thread.jspa?threadID 566608 ref , but has never been reported on Microsoft Windows operating systems post Windows XP. Another form of promiscuous traffic occurs when two different applications happen to listen on the same group address. As the former type of promiscuous traffic lack of address filtering can be considered a bug at the operating system level, the latter reflects global configuration issues.

selfref For other types of grooming see Groom Traffic grooming is the process of grouping many small telecommunications flows into larger units, which can be processed as single entities. For example, in a Telecommunications networknetwork using both time division multiplexing TDM and wavelength division multiplexing WDM , two flows which are destined for a common node can be placed on the same wavelength, allowing them to be dropped by a single optical add drop multiplexer . Often the objective of grooming is minimizing the cost of the network. The cost of line terminating equipment LTE also called add drop multiplexers or ADMs is the most dominant component in an optical WDM network s cost. Thus grooming typically involves minimizing the usage of ADMs. This is similar to the use of Virtual channel identifier virtual channels and Virtual Path Identifier virtual paths in asynchronous transfer mode ATM networks. Effective grooming requires consideration of the network topology topology of the network and the different routes in use. This is especially useful when dealing with mesh networks . Grooming Algorithms The traffic grooming problem has proven to be computationally intractable in the general case. Hence heuristic solutions are typically used.

Traffic Radio was a digital radio station based in England . It was a 24 hour rolling Traffic reporting traffic and travel service for motorways and major roads in England , run for the Highways Agency by Global TrafficNetwork . Traffic Radio could be heard on DAB digital radio, 1386AM National Exhibition Centre , Birmingham only and via the internet. It was available 24 hours a day, every day of the year and was updated every 10 minutes at busy times. It offered regional traffic news, depending on which part of the country people are listening, as well as national headlines. The information came from the National Traffic Control Centre , which has access to over 1,000 CCTV cameras and 3,750 road sensors, as well as information from the Highways Agency s seven regional control centres. Traffic Radio was not designed as a competitor to local radio stations in the UK, many of whom provide travel information.

Packets layer 3 or frames layer 2 sent to the broadcast address will be sent to all node networking nodes within the broadcast domain . Proper Configuration All stations should be on the same segment or Network bridge bridged , and should be listening on the same broadcast address to participate. Stations that have mismatched settings will have limited or no visibility of nearby services. Remote announcements must use that address but are not neccessarly required to use it as its broadcast address . Role One of the primary purposes of the broadcast address, is for systems to share service and state information between them. Typical examples are visible with ruptime , SAMBA or Windows file and print sharing. Each station em broadcasts em its presence into the local network to announce its services. Security Stations that should not announce their service states should disable broadcasting. While setting the broadcast ... broadcast traffic. This will prevent local stations from replying.

In queueing theory , a discipline within the mathematical probability theory theory of probability , traffic equations are equations that describe the mean arrival rate of traffic, allowing the arrival rates at individual nodes to be determined. Mitrani notes if the network is stable, the traffic equations are valid and can be solved. ref name mitrani Cite book last Mitrani first Isi title Probabilistic modelling publisher Cambridge University Press date 1998 isbn 0521585309 pn date December 2010 ref Jackson network In a Jackson s theorem queueing theory Jackson network , the mean arrival rate math lambda i math at each node i in the network is given by the sum of external and internal arrivals.
