Step 2: Once you select a % total usage, the incoming, outgoing and internal portions are populated.  These can be modified if you like.  Just select from left to right.  The totals must add up to 100%
   
Step 3: Enter the number of total users on this system.
   
Step 4: Select traffic formula model: Poisson, Erlang B or Erlang C 
   
Step 5: Select a desired blocking rate from the list or simply type in your own
   
Calculations are made automatically.  In this example you would need 888 incoming trunks and 1,064 outgoing trunks.  This is a total of 1,952 trunks.  If you were to combine the trunk groups into 2 way groups you would only need 1,896 trunks.  Combining groups will save you 56 trunks!
   
TrafficFinder! is pre-loaded with dozens of business traffic profiles.  You can edit the profiles or create your own by clicking on "Edit Profiles".  Internal % traffic is automatically calculated using the balance of 100%.
