| Abstract | The integrated services networks (as for example, N-ISDN or B-ISDN) are expected to
carry, a wide variety of services. These services are to be switched using the same network. This
integration of services, though advantageous economically, has some undesirable features. These
services integrated over a common network may differ in their holding times. A situation may
develop where long duration calls of a traffic class set up over the network links (in accordance
with some routing strategy) at the time when network was not congested are still in progress
during times of congestion . Such calls may result in an increase in call blocking probability.
This thesis investigated the interaction between two traffic classes with different call
durations (mean holding time as well as holding time distributions), proportions of traffic and
non-coincident busy hours for different routing strategies. The basis of this study was the
evaluation of the call blocking probability of short duration service class. This investigation was
based upon computer simulation.
From the results of the simulation, it is found that short duration traffic class suffers
higher call blockings when the long duration holding times are generated in accordance with
either negative exponential or uniform distributions when compared to constant distribution . The
effect of routing suggests that it is more advantageous for short duration class to route the calls
with non alternative routing strategies, rather than alternately route them. |
