Engset Traffic Theory
Contributed by Frits Schoute
Below you find a beta version of Frits Schoute's Engset calculator. Just like the Erlang calculator it calculates the relation between blocking, traffic and number of lines. Any two of those determine the value of the third.
The added feature of the Engset model is that it does not assume an infinite user population, like the Erlang model does. One can specify (or compute) the number of users. Traffic can now be expressed in erlang or in erlang per user. The traffic value in the dimensionless quantity erlang signifies the number of lines that would be occupied on average if there were no blocking.
Specify any value by filling in the corresponding field. Calculate a specific value by clicking the button to the right of it.
Enjoy!
