AbstractThe primary role of an international telecommunication network is to provide transmission capacity between countries. In international teletraffic engineering, trunk is used to carry the calls to destinations, therefore the number of trunks to be provided the obviously depends on the traffic to be carried. The purpose of this study is to check the performance of the system or network concerned to provide the basic information to a telecommunication operator for future plans; therefore the performance engineer must know busy hour location, its traffic, traffic variation, and circuit requirements for traffic demand. These parameters are used as input data for future traffic prediction. Performance analysis of the international network in this research study is mainly based on the measurement of traffic intensity, and the past data, which were taken from international telephone switching center ofLTC in Lao PDR The result shows that the amount of traffic flowing during the busy hour is likely to be reasonably consistent from hour to hour, day to day; some routes may experience a peak ยท demand on a particular day. The daily, weekly, monthly and yearly variation provides a general trend in growth or decline of traffic on some routes. The future international traffic for routes is forecasted by 4 different methods, namely Linear, Exponential, Logistic and Gompertz. The results are compared and "Gomperzt"is selected as the best method, because this method is suitable for saturation period. The result of estimation of future traffic varies accordingly to the past data, if the past data is increased the future traffic will increase and if the past data is decreased, the future traffic will decrease
