Notation
nTraffic is an arrival process
ncalls arrive at some time Ta, measured in sec from 0
ninter-arrival time Ti (time elapsed between call arrivals); thus arrival rate per sec is 1/Ti
n and a departure process
ncalls have a duration or holding time Tc; thus departure rate is 1/Tc
nTraffic is measured by averaging over an integration period, Tp.  In Erlangs (utilization):  A = Tc / Ti
