Summary:
We study a teletraffic loss model of a two-link system that accommodates calls from a single service-classwhich follow a Poisson arrival process. Each link has two thresholds which refer to the number of in-service calls in the link. The lowest threshold, named support threshold, defines up to which point the link can support calls offloaded from the other link. The highest threshold, named offloading threshold, defines the point where the link starts offloading calls to the other link. The model does not have a product form solution for the steady state probabilities. However, an approximate formula exists in the literature for the calculation of call blocking probabilities. The accuracy of the formula is verified through simulation and found to be quite satisfactory.
