Abstract:

A system for, and method of, simulating traffic loads in a packetized communication network. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) an initial arrival generator that generates an initial arrival for a simulated user session at an independent time from a previous user session arrival and (2) a subsequent arrival generator, associated with the initial arrival generator, that generates a number of connections to be associated with the simulated user session as an independent variable and, if the number of connections is greater than one, generates a mean connection interarrival time for the simulated user session and a plurality of timings of subsequent arrivals.

Abstract:

An algorithm for improving signals between two or more mirrors is described. The algorithm is used to determine the initial voltages for improved signal transmission and is also used to maintain improved transmission. The algorithm utilizes random jump when the signal is too low. The step sizes and bounding boxes for the algorithm can be determined from modeling. One by-product of the algorithm is the determination of the hill shape. This information can be used in a subsequent accelerated retraining procedure. An a priori quadratic approximation of the hill's shape is used to reduce the number of measurements used for retraining.
