Traffic offered
= proportion of the time for which congestion exists
= probability of congestion
= probability that a call will be lost due to congestion
Example 1
During the busy hour, 1200 calls were offered to a
group of trunks and six calls were lost. The
average call duration was 3 minutes. Find:

assumes that the telephone user will immediately reattempt his call on
receipt of congestion signal and will continue to redial
assumed that lost calls are held or waiting at the users telephone
further assumes that such lost calls extend the average holding time
theoretically (average holding time is zero, and all the time is waiting
time)
assumes that user will hang up and wait some time interval before
reattempting
such calls is assumed to disappear from the system; reattempt (after
the delay) is considered a new call
Erlang formula is based on this criterion
