Traffic Models for Telecommunication

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Models that describe the traffic on the current (broadband-)integrated-services digital networks are a hot topic in telecommunication. They are relevant for at least the following two reasons:

  • traffic description: It is assumed (at least for some types of networks) that potential users will have to give a traffic description. This will enable the network operator to decide whether the new connection can be admitted to the network without violating the quality of service guarantees of existing connections, i.e. without overloading the network; — network simulation: with the aim to properly dimension future networks;

  • network simulation: with the aim to properly dimension future networks.
