Backup transfers are often programmed<br />

to be performed at night time. Video<br />

transmissions are usually one-way, with<br />

long-lasting high bitrate transmission,<br />

and tend to be mostly evening entertainment.<br />

The transmission speed of speech<br />

is normalised to a fixed bit rate, whereas<br />

data traffic bit rates vary over an extremely<br />

broad range.<br />

These and other peculiarities may lead to<br />

stochastic variations as well as short- and<br />

long-time profiles that are quite different<br />

from those of telephone traffic. However,<br />

the activities of business hours and<br />

leisure hours are in many ways decisive<br />

for profiles even for other types of traffic<br />

than telephone. And the basic laws of the<br />

traffic theory are invariant, while the<br />

environments, the conditions and the relevant<br />

parameters are highly variable. If<br />

the independence assumption no longer<br />

applies, correlation must be considered,<br />

and the analysis is much more complicated.<br />

Some diagrams showing real traffic<br />

observations are presented in the following<br />

section.<br />

7 Some traffic<br />

observations<br />

As an illustration two diagrams of real<br />

traffic as observed at the main telephone<br />

exchange in central Trondheim are<br />

shown in Figures 8 and 9. Both figures<br />

present daily profiles of 10 minute averages<br />

between hours 7 and 24, and averaged<br />

over several days in order to get<br />

smoothed samples demonstrating typical<br />

features. Figure 8 contains the results of<br />

25,000 calls from typical residential subscribers.<br />

The main features are a slow<br />

growth from virtually zero between 7 and<br />

8 hours, rising to a morning peak around<br />

10 (maximum activity), a fall off until a<br />

lower peak between 15 and 16 (towards<br />

end of working hours), a marked low<br />

around 17 (supper, nap), before increasing<br />

again to an evening peak (leisure<br />

time) of the same size as the morning<br />

peak. The further gradual fall-off until<br />

midnight is broken by a sharp drop<br />

around the evening news.<br />

The corresponding profile in Figure 9<br />

contains 48,000 calls from business and<br />

residential telephones as well. Here, business<br />

telephones dominate during working<br />

hours and residential telephones during<br />

the evening. The main difference is<br />

found between 10 and 16 hours, showing<br />

a marked drop during lunch hour before<br />

an afternoon peak between 13 and 14 of
