`Surveillance and Control
`
`Figure 10-2. Network Congestion
`
`At the onset of the overload, also known as circuit shortage, the dominant cause
`for customer blockage is the failure to find an idle circuit. Circuit blocking alone
`limits the number of extra calls that can be completed but does not cause a
`significant loss in the call-carrying capacity of the network below its maximum.
`As the overload persists and the network enters a congested state, regenerated-
`calling pressure changes customer blockage from circuit shortage to switching
`delays.
`
`Switching delays cause timeout conditions during call setup and occur when
`switching systems become severely overloaded. Timeouts are designed into
`switching systems to release common-control components after excessively
`long delay periods and provide the customer with a signal indicating call-
`attempt failure. Switching-congestion timeouts with short holding-time
`attempts on circuit groups replace normal holding-time calls. Switching delays
`spread quickly throughout the network.
`(cid:127) A trunk-group overload usually occurs during general or focused overloads
`and/or atypical busy hours. Some of the overload causes not discussed above
`are facility outages, inadequate trunk provisioning, and routing errors. The
`results of a trunk-group overload can be essentially the same as those
`previously discussed for general overloads. However, the adverse effects are
`usually confined to the particular trunk group or the apex area formed by the
`trunk group and those groups’ alternate-routing to the overloaded trunk group.
