AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The existing technologies face challenges in properly monitoring network or device health when no media signal is input, due to the shorter packet transmission interval for media signals compared to the monitoring period of traditional methods like E-OAM or BFD.
Method used
A monitoring system is implemented that determines whether a media signal is input, generates header information, and transmits packets containing this information without a payload using E-OAM or BFD, at intervals shorter than traditional monitoring packets, ensuring continuous health monitoring.
Benefits of technology
This solution enables effective health monitoring of networks and devices even when no media signal is input, preventing unnecessary alarms and ensuring timely detection of any issues.

Abstract
To provide a technique that enables appropriate normality monitoring even when no media signal is input.SOLUTION: A transmitting device includes: monitoring means for determining whether a media signal is input; generating means for generating header information; and transmitting means for transmitting a packet containing the header information generated by the generating means but not containing a payload when the monitoring means determines that no media signal is input.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
