Erlang B Formula

The Erlang B Formula is a mathematical model in queueing theory that calculates the probability of call blocking in a loss system with a finite number of identical channels and no queuing for blocked calls, distinguishing it from other traffic models by its assumption of exponentially distributed holding times and Poisson arrival processes under steady-state conditions.
