• In this topic we will look into the FINITE channels where there
will be blockings once all the channels are occupied.

TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ERLANG’S B-FORMULA
o Time Congestion
It’s the probabilities that all n channels are busy at a
random of time EQUAL to the proportion of time all
channels are busy.

• However for numerical calculations, the formula above is not
appropriate since both n! and An increase so quickly which
results the occurrence of overflow in the computer.
