APPENDIX A

Traffic Tables

This appendix provides traffic tables (Tables A.1 through A.9) for a variety of
blocking probabilities and channels.* The blocked-calls-cleared (Erlang-B) call
model is used. In Erlang B, we assume that, when traffic arrives in the system, it
either is served, with probability from the table, or is lost to the system. A cus-
tomer attempting to place a call therefore either will see a call completion or will
be blocked and abandon the call. This assumption is acceptable for low blocking
probabilities. In some cases, the call will be placed again after a short period of
time. If too many calls reappear in the system after a short delay, the Erlang-B
model will no longer hold.
In Tables A.8 and A.9, where the number of channels is high (greater than
250 channels), linear interpolation between two table values is possible. We pro-
vide the deltas for one additional channel to assist in the interpolation.

*The data in the tables was supplied by V. H. MacDonald.
