6 unusual facts about Network traffic


ATM Adaptation Layer 1

An ATM Adaptation layer 1 or AAL1 is used for transmitting Class A traffic, that is, real-time, constant bit rate, connection oriented traffic (example- uncompressed audio and video).

Carrier sense multiple access

Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) is a probabilistic media access control (MAC) protocol in which a node verifies the absence of other traffic before transmitting on a shared transmission medium, such as an electrical bus, or a band of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Media Delivery Index

Packet delays can be caused by multiple facts, among which there are the way traffic is routed through the infrastructure and possible differences between link speeds in the infrastructure.

Network traffic

Network traffic control, managing, prioritising, controlling or reducing the network traffic

Network traffic measurement, measuring the amount and type of traffic on a particular network

Network traffic simulation, to measure the efficiency of a communications network

Stephen Conroy

In June 2010, Conroy was criticized by SAGE-AU for "misinformation that verged on fear-mongering" when he suggested Google street view cars could have captured internet banking details in their recording of wireless network traffic, as these are generally exchanged over secure HTTPS connections.

Traffic control

Network traffic control, the manipulation of network traffic to avoid network congestion or to ensure quality of service in telecommunications
