Statistical analysis of CCSN/SS7 traffic data from working CCS subnetworks

Reports on an ongoing statistical analysis of actual CCSN traffic data. The data consist of approximately 170 million signaling messages collected from a variety of different working CCS subnetworks. The key findings from the analysis concern: 1) the characteristics of both the telephone call arrival process and the signaling message arrival process; 2) the tail behavior of the call holding time distribution; and 3) the observed performance of the CCSN with respect to a variety of performance and reliability measurements.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
