I have an access link to the internet (Institutional Router to Internet Router) that is 1 Gbps access link. Suppose that on my network there are typically 1000 Requests/second going to the Internet that are each 1 Mbits. Calculate the traffic intensity on the access link. What does this number imply about delays on my network?
Traffic intensity is equal to
Where,
a = arrival rate (requests per second)
l = length of request
R = rate of transmission ( access link)
so, traffic intensity = (1000 * 106) / 109 = 1
It means that your access link can handle maximum 1000 request per second. At any time requests are more than 1000 it will start becoming congested and delay will be proportion to number of requests more than 1000.
