"Link dimensioning, i.e., selecting a (minimal) link capacity such that the users' performance requirements are met, is a crucial component of network design. It requires insight into the interrelationship among the traffic offered (in terms of the mean offered load M, but also its fluctuation around the mean, i.e., 'burstiness'), the envisioned performance level, and the capacity needed," researchers in Netherlands report.
"We first derive, for different performance criteria, theoretical dimensioning formulas that estimate the required capacity as a function of the input traffic and the performance target. For the special case of Gaussian input traffic, these ...
