The worldwide nature of the international telephone network, spanning as it does all possible time zones, has stimulated studies of the traffic streams between countries in different relative time locations. These studies have led to the development of standardized 24-hour traffic profiles which, theoretically based and verified by measurements, would be useful for engineering purposes. In fact, these concepts can be applied to a variety of network situations.
