Thanks for the reply, but still have some questions ,
read inline please.

>&nbsp;&nbsp; As explained in the draft, the
performance of BC >models is evaluated in terms of the
>blocking/preemption of LSPs, and not that of
>packets.&nbsp; Poisson assumption for LSP requests is
>therefore relevant.&nbsp; Also as discussed in the
draft, >the erlang is used to reflect LSP utilization

and not >the traffic volume).
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
If LSP is considered as SVC across MPLS networks, why
could we assume the&nbsp;arrival and lifetime of LSP
conforms to that of telephone networks?&nbsp; The only
situation&nbsp;I can see: VoIP&nbsp;system which sets
up LSP for each phonecall. But for data communication
network,&nbsp; self-similarity and heavy-tail
characterizes the network traffic. Although prof.
cleverland showed there is trends to poisson arrival
in their network, but no others report results
alike.&nbsp; Would you please tell me&nbsp; at which
level LSP is assumed to work, packet? connection?
session? host-to-host or network-to-network? 
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Thanks a lot.
