Published by Prentice Hall. The advent of technology has quickly changed the world in which we work. Understanding how workers are adapting to their new challenges is integral to a successful organization. Published by Prentice Hall. The last decade has seen dramatic increases in switching and transmission capacity, accompanied by an increasing need to integrate communications services, including voice and data, over the same telecommunication network.
Loss networks are there to ensure that sufficient resources are available when a call arrives.
However, the traditional loss network models do not capture the heterogeneity of the bandwidth requirements, the central attribute of ATM networks. ATM networks require multiservice loss models. This book presents mathematical tools for the analysis, optimization and design of multi-service loss networks. These tools are directly relevant to modern broadband networks, including ATM networks. It also addresses networks with both fixed and alternative routing, and with discrete and continuous bandwidth requirements.
