Traffic shaping and dimensioning of an external overload controller in service architectures

In English This paper investigates the dimensioning of a server used for external overload control in service architecture. Great savings can be obtained by an operator if the dimensioning analysis is performed correctly. As one of the main parts of this paper it is shown that Poissonian arrivals is a good assumption for some services in service architectures. Methods that can be used for dimensioning are presented and examples are provided
