1. A network access control system for packet communications networks comprisinga plurality of sources of digital traffic for transmission on one of said networks,means for characterizing said digital traffic incoming to said one of said communications networks by the peak bit rate of said digital traffic, the mean bit rate of said digital traffic, and the burst length of said digital traffic,means for determining the loss probability distribution of said digital traffic,means responsive to said distribution determining means for determining an equivalent burst length for said digital traffic having the same peak and mean bit rates and producing said loss probability distribution under the assumption that the burst and idle period distribution of said digital traffic is exponential and uncorrelated, andmeans utilizing said equivalent burst length for controlling the access of said digital traffic to said one network.
