Abstract: A network monitoring apparatus for monitoring an interconnecting device that interconnects communication in a computer network. A first storage unit stores a plurality of notifications to notify of each of a plurality of operations in the interconnecting device, respectively. A detection unit that detects the operations in the interconnecting device and a notification unit that selects a notification stored in the first storage unit based on a detected operation to notify of the operation of the interconnecting device by the selected notification.

Abstract: A glass preform for an optical fiber is flame abrased with an oxyhydrogen flame while vertically suspending and rotating the glass preform and relatively moving one or both of the glass preform and the oxyhydrogen flame, whereby a surface of the glass preform is smoothened.
