D Capacities and Performance
Number of MedPros
needed
The following table gives the approximate carried load (CL
m
), in Erlangs, for m
MedPro boards installed. Carried loads are shown for a = 22 and 31 audio streams per
MedPro board, corresponding to having the G.723 or G.729A (a=22) or the G.711
(a=31) codecs administered.
Assumptions
This table assumes:
• In columns 2 and 3, the carried loads are calculated assuming an infinite source
for Grade of Service (GOS) of P001. The carried loads are calculated as an
average of Erlang B and Erlang C to account for retrials
• In columns 3 and 4, the carried loads are calculated assuming full availability (no
blocking). Note that the carried load for the full availability case is just the
number of audio streams times the number of MedPro boards.
