Its accuracy and extendibility to multirouting or multicasting networks (like me B-ISDN), however, is seldom studied. This paper attempts to generalize this assumption and to assess the usefulness of this generalization by comparing simulation and approximation results on link, route, and end-to-end blocking probability evaluation for these kinds of networks. The accuracy of the approximation is examined by a simulation tool called Flexible Simulation Platform for ATM Networks. An important application example of this generalized link-, route- and Originator-Destination pair blocking measure is the formulation of an optimization model for multirate loss networks, which optimizes carried traffic and network revenue. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/003754979706800106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,3]],"date-time":"2017-07-03T19:00:11Z","timestamp":1499108411000},"page":"56-63","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Blocking Probability Approximations and Revenue Optimization in Multirate Loss Networks"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"L\u00e1szl\u00f3","family":"Ast","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications and Telematics, Technical University of Budapest Budapest, Hungary , , ,"}]},{"given":"Tibor","family":"Cinkler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications and Telematics, Technical University of Budapest Budapest, Hungary , , ,"}]},{"given":"G\u00e1bor","family":"Fodor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications and Telematics, Technical University of Budapest Budapest, Hungary , , ,"}]},{"given":"S\u00e1ndor","family":"R\u00e1cz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications and Telematics, Technical University of Budapest Budapest, Hungary , , ,"}]},{"given":"S\u00f8ren","family":"Blaabjerg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Telecommunications, Technical University of Denmark Lyngby, Denmark"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-003754979706800106","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/49.414639"},{"key":"bibr2-003754979706800106","unstructured":"2 Girard A. 1990.
