From the above data we see that the efficiency of algorithm b is the maximum followed by c; a
having the minimum. As algorithm b tries connection using matrices in the cyclic order of 0-1-23 in the distribution stage (second stage), it ensures maximum connectivity. Algorithm b has
least blocking probability.

Conclusion: There are four intermediate matrices present. This means that for a particular inletoutlet pair four paths are always provided in this switching system. Hence the number of
connection starts with 4 as shown in the table, meaning that at least 4 numbers of connections are
always available via 4 intermediate matrices.

Conclusion: Efficiency= Number of successful Connections/Total number of connections*100

Algorithm a Efficiency=11.025/16*100=68.9
Algorithm b Efficiency=13.508/16*100=84.42
Algorithm c Efficiency= 11.408/16*100=71.302
Hence we can conclude that algorithm b is the most efficient one as it makes the highest
number of successful connections out of possible 16.

Conclusion: It is seen that with the increasing traffic the lost traffic and the lost connections are
also being increased (the number of distribution matrices remaining the same). It is intuitively
known that the increase in traffic causes blocking probability to increase. Again when the
distribution stages are increased with the same traffic, the blocking is less as more paths are
available for the calls. The above data suggest that the performance of the algorithm c is better
at less traffic. Also the maximum number of connections made is higher with algorithm c in
comparison to others.
