Product Description
Loss networks ensure that sufficient resources are available when a call arrives. However, traditional loss network models for telephone networks cannot cope with today's heterogeneous demands, the central attribute of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. This requires multiservice loss models. This publication presents mathematical tools for the analysis, optimization and design of multiservice loss networks. These tools are relevant to modern broadband networks, including ATM networks. Addressed are networks with both fixed and alternative routing, and with discrete and continuous bandwidth requirements. Multiservice interconnection networks for switches and contiguous slot assignment for synchronous transfer mode are also presented.

Excellent Monography October 23, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This monography touches upon several aspects of loss networks: computation of product form probabilities, Erlang and Montecarlo approximation to loss probability, routing and admission decision. It very readable and summarizes the work done in the past 20 year, especially by Frank Kelly. The target application is ATM networks. One possible drawback of the approach used here is that the effective bandwidth of a session is assumed known a priori. In practice this approach has not been very effective, and alternative decision rules (e.g. measurement-based effective bandwidth) have been explored. Practical relevance of the approach aside, this is an excellent book.
