10-high-day busy period (10HD busy period)

In designing and assessing networks, the peak load is sometimes measured using the 10HD (10-high-day) busy period method. The 10HD busy period is the average of the amount of traffic during the busiest hour of the 10 days during the year when the overall traffic is heaviest.

Another index to peak traffic is the average bouncing busy hour (ABBH).
