Links summary

More detailed information can be displayed about the links by clicking on the Links tab above the workspace.

Each line represents a link, and the first two columns show the source and destination of the link. The third column shows the transmission medium for the link (e.g. analogue, VoIP etc.) and the third link shows the facilities recorded for the link when it was defined. This is either the number of links provided or, for Voice over IP, the bandwidth entered.

The remaining columns will only have entries if the current network has been analysed. The fifth column shows the traffic offered to each link in Erlangs (BHT). The next column shows the blocking which Westplan estimates would be experienced on the link if it were sized using the value in the Entry Network (as the link was entered). The final column shows Westplan's estimate for the optimum network facilities to be provided for the link terms of the number of trunks or bandwidth.

The table can be sorted by clicking on any of its column headers.
