Search for: [Description = "This paper proposes multirate teletraffic loss models of a link that accommodates different service\-classes of elastic and adaptive calls. Calls follow a Poisson process, can tolerate bandwidth compression and have an exponentially distributed service time. When bandwidth compression occurs, the service time of new and in\-service elastic calls increases. Adaptive calls do not alter their service time. All calls compete for the available link bandwidth under the combination of the Threshold \(TH\) and the Bandwidth Reservation \(BR\) policies. The TH policy can provide different QoS among service\-classes by limiting the number of calls of a service\-class up to a predefined threshold, which can be different for each service\-class. The BR policy reserves part of the available link bandwidth to benefit calls of high bandwidth requirements. The analysis of the proposed models is based on approximate but recursive formulas, whereby authors determine call blocking probabilities and link utilization. The accuracy of the proposed formulas is verified through simulation and found to be very satisfactory."]
