Abstract
A study of the message traffic flow at a Naval Communication
Station was conducted on two days to determine the percentage of traffic
following certain paths within the station, and the characteristics of
those paths with regard to traffic volume, precedence, time in house,
peak loading periods, and length.
Incoming and outgoing messages were matched and sorted by
c omputer. Analysis revealed that the main flow of traffic was incoming
on AUTODIN and outgoing on other circuits; approximately 95% of the
traffic went out on only one type of channel with little duplication within
type of channel; duplication between terminations and broadcasts was
minimal; and conflicting results were obtained on variation between
path characteristics.
Further testing using the described computer program is recommended
to provide a broader base for conclusions.
