Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are provided to simulate a network carrying a heterogeneous mix of traffic in order to assess the performance of the network. Parameters and information are provided to define the configuration of the network and define how resources in the network are shared between types of traffic for a simulation run. In addition, sets of parameters define characteristics for individual types of traffic. During a simulation run, the individual types of traffic are generated with the defined characteristics using one or more models. The individual types of traffic are then aggregated to generate a joint, heterogeneous mix of traffic. As the mix of traffic is generated, resources in the network are allocated. Statistics are then collected for each simulation run to indicate the performance of the simulated network when loaded with the heterogeneous mix of traffic.

Abstract: An oscillator oscillates at a predetermined reference
frequency, and a reference signal light sender generates light
(reference signal light) of a specific wavelength deeply
modulated by output from the oscillator. A frequency divider
frequency-divides the output from the oscillator into a certain
number, and outputs a tone signal of a predetermined measurement
frequency. Output from the frequency divider is applied to
selected one of a plurality of optical transmission signal
senders via one of a plurality of switches, and is used to
slightly intensity-modulate a corresponding optical transmission
signal. An optical divider in an optical repeater outputs most
of output light from an optical amplifier onto an optical fiber
transmission line toward a terminal station, and applies small
amounts of the light to a measuring circuit. The measuring
circuit synchronously detects the measurement frequency
component in the received light using the reference frequency
obtained from the reference signal light of the specific
wavelength. A modulator slightly varies the amplification gain
of the other optical amplifier that amplifies the signal light
travelling on the other optical fiber transmission line in
response to results of measurement by the measuring circuit.

Abstract: A main terminal and a method of operating the same. In this method of operating
the main terminal, the main terminal is connected to a telephone network so as to
communicate with the telephone network, and selectively connects an external
terminal to the telephone network. To perform the method, first, if it is requested
that the telephone network be disconnected from the external terminal and instead
be connected to the main terminal, an internal current to flow into the main
terminal is obtained from a loop voltage generated when the external terminal is in
connection with the telephone network. Next, the internal current is applied to the
main terminal. Thereafter, the telephone network is disconnected from the external
terminal and instead connected to the main terminal. While the internal current is
flowing in the main terminal, the main terminal maintains the loop voltage
generated when the external terminal is in connection with the telephone network.
Accordingly, the telephone network can be disconnected from an external terminal
and instead be connected to the main terminal without generating an interrupt.
Thus, an exchanger included in the telephone network can be prevented from
malfunctioning due to the generation of the interrupt.
