Abstract :
Two algorithms and related performance measures for calculating traffic intensity as a function of spatial location are presented. The first measure of traffic loading is the product of the number of links per area, the average link distance, and the average load per link in a given area. This measure gives a sense of the joint amount of traffic load and cabling for wire networks. The second measure is simply the product of the number of links per area and the average load per link in a given area. This measure gives a sense of traffic load only for wire and radio networks. An example of the algorithms´ use for a circular network operating under a shortest path routing is included
