Telecom Model 1: Telephone Traffic

The first example demonstrates telephone traffic between three different cities with direct and alternate paths available to each. (See Figure 5.1.) In this configuration the fiber link between City A and City B might suggest that a higher volume traffic typically flows between these cities compared to the other pairs. Using this model you could investigate equipment capacity issues by manipulating capacity values, call generation rates, holding times, or possibly the call destination probabilities associated with the banks of telsets. You might also examine the effect of various equipment failures on call blocking rates in this network.
