An Erlang is a unit of telecommunications traffic measurement. Strictly speaking, an Erlang represents the
continuous use of one voice path. In practice, it is used to describe the total traffic volume of one hour.
Erlang traffic measurements are made in order to help telecommunications network designers understand traffic
patterns within their voice networks. This is essential if they are to successfully design their network topology and
establish the necessary trunk group sizes.
Erlang traffic measurements or estimates can be used to work out how many lines are required between a telephone
system and a central office (PSTN exchange lines), or between multiple network locations.
