Figure 1-4 shows the peak time for the Chicago office. There are more calls
arriving in Chicago than that office can efficiently handle. Meanwhile, the
Toronto office has passed its peak time and resumes its normal load.
The Toronto office can cancel the overflow commands for its Meridian
MAX. This prevents any more calls from being transferred from Toronto.
Meanwhile, the Chicago nodal supervisors enter network configuration
control commands to improve the efficiency of their own queues, and
request assistance from Houston. Again, the supervisors determine which
queues are least active and most able to handle an increase in calls. The
Houston supervisors send messages to Toronto and Los Angeles to inform
them that there is an increase in calls overflowed from Chicago. They then
enter network configuration control commands to overflow the excess calls
from the Chicago office to the Toronto and Los Angeles offices.
