Frank: ...This should only be a problem less than ~0.2% (<?>) of the time if the carrier has sized the plant provisions correctly, which means they've taken all of the traffic dynamics into account, correctly. Rather than 0.2% I believe the standard for COs is 2%, generally written as "p.02" (the "p" short for probability). If memory serves, the Erlang B formula (blocked calls cleared) is used in this instance. However, for larger trunked groups (from the CO to the tandem or direct to an IXC POP) I believe the standard is p.01 or less and the Poisson formula is preferred (blocked calls delayed). While 2% at first blush seems high, it is applied against the "busy hour" traffic, which is continuously monitored and updated. Traffic modeling research continues, see: baltzer.nl Unfortunately, I need a dictionary to get through a single sentence of most of the abstracts. The challenge is the growth rate of the traffic and the willingness of the carrier to stay ahead of the curve: but you already said that.<g> ww
