2、nciple there would be merit in dimensioning international facilities to provide the same grade of servicefor all relations, however served. Practical considerations make it advisable to depart from one universal value.2 Direct circuit groups are dimensioned, according to Recommendation E.520 on the

3、basis of p = 1% lossprobability during the mean busy hour. An exception is permitted for small groups of very long international circuitsfor which p = 3% loss probability is accepted for six or fewer circuits. As the traffic increases the grade of serviceimproves progressively until p = 1% loss valu

4、e is reached for 20 circuits.3 For the relations served exclusively by transit operation the grade of service will deteriorate with the number oftransit centres in the connection. Measurements made on congestion in such circumstances suggest that the overallgrade of service for up to six links in ta

5、ndem is less than twice the congestion of any of the six links in the chain.Hence, for a series of routes, each dimensioned for p = 1%, the overall grade of service should seldom exceed 2%. AnEast-West type of connection would have the advantage of different busy hours on the various links. Correspo

6、ndingadvantage would not apply to North-South circuits.In the case of relations served by high-usage circuits the overflow traffic will route over at least two links and,hence, will be subject to the same deterioration of service as in the case for transit traffic. However, a substantial part ofthe

7、traffic will be connected over the high-usage circuits and the overall grade of service will approximate that of therelations served solely by direct circuits.It is desirable that at least one high-usage circuit should always be provided between a CT3 and its homingCT1, even though the circuit may n

8、ot be wholly justified on economic considerations alone. However, such a circuitshould not be provided unless there is a measurable amount of traffic which exists, or can be foreseen in the busy hour.The provision of such circuits would improve the transmission as well as the grade of service; these

9、 considerationsshould encourage an increase both in traffic and in the revenue-earning capacity of the circuits providedThe overall grade of service for the international part of a connection is a contributory factor to the overallgrade of service from the calling party in one country to the called party in another.
