Abstract:
An adaptive apparatus for regulating connection admission of traffic for networks, comprising: a limiter of a volume of traffic admitted to a network through a connection admission control (CAC) procedure, the limiter being configured to base the connection admission control procedure at least in part both on a pure measurement CAC that is solely based on measurements of actual traffic levels on the network and on a pure mathematical-based CAC that is solely dependent on user-supplied traffic parameters, thereby combining both types of the CAC to form a hybrid admission criterion, andan adjuster being arranged to cause the pure measurement-based CAC of the hybrid admission criterion to dominate over the mathematical-based CAC of the hybrid admission criterion in regulating the CAC procedure on a network while the call generated traffic is random and evenly distributed throughout a day.
