MSC Data Coverage Graph

This graph is a bar chart showing the percentage data coverage of a selected MSC over a selected number of days. The graph uses the MSC.Traffic table to select a single traffic type and determines the total time for which data was collected for that traffic type on the selected days. Traffic type data is reported per MSC so if data is available for one traffic type from a MSC it is available for all traffic type from the MSC.

Route Exhaustion Report

This report shows all routes that will reach exhaustion in the specified forecast. The report shows carried traffic, % congestion, % utilisation, grade of service and lost traffic in the most recent actual busy hour and then the selected dimensioning parameter, the critical traffic, the sample size, correlation coefficient, traffic growth and exhaustion date. The report is always generated with weekly busy hour values. The user defines the length of forecast in days and the design GOS as runtime parameters, and has the option to include or exclude exhausted routes.

Route Low Utilisation Report

This report shows all routes that will remain consistently under utilised in the forecast period i.e. start off with low utilisation and finish with low utilisation. The report shows carried traffic, % congestion, % utilisation, grade of service and lost traffic in the most recent actual busy hour and then the selected dimensioning parameter, the critical traffic, the sample size, correlation coefficient and current and final utilisation. The report is always generated with weekly busy hour values. The report can be filtered on the maximum current utilisation and forecast utilisation; these parameters mandatory and default to 25%.

Route Required Circuits Report

This report shows the forecast circuit requirements for a set of routes for three different forecast periods. The forecast can be dimensioned using Weekly BH, 3-DAV or 5-DAV values of carried or offered traffic. For all selected routes, the report shows the sample size, the correlation coefficient of the forecast, the actual and required number of circuits and the selected dimensioning parameter in the latest busy hour and then the required circuits and forecast traffic at periods of N1, N2 and N3 days ahead where N1, N2 and N3 are configurable but default to 60, 90 and 120. The report is always generated with weekly busy hour values.

SS7 Signalling Linkset Traffic Forecast Graph

This chart allows the user to plot the weekly trend of either the busy hour received or transmitted traffic. It also plots a regression of the selected parameter extrapolated over a user-defined forecast period. The report is always generated with weekly busy hour values. The user has the option to set the following run-time parameters: Nominal Maximum Traffic - Default value 0.4, Maximum In-Failure Traffic - Default value 0.8, Default Links In-Failure - Default value 1.
