Least Busy Alternative Routing in Queueing and Loss Networks

Abstract
This paper is divided into two distinct parts: the first considers a loss network, the second a queueing network. In each case, we consider a fully connected network consisting of a large number of links (queues) and operating under a dynamic routing policy known as least busy alternative routing. Using weak convergence results, we can examine the behavior of the networks as the number of links (queues) increases to infinity. We find that, despite the models having similarities and being amenable to the same analytical tools, they exhibit important differences in character.
