Pathological behaviour in loss networks

Hunt and Kurtz [9] consider a loss network as the number of circuits and the offered traffics become large. They prove a functional law of large numbers for such a network and illustrate their results with some simple examples. In this paper we apply their results to slightly more complicated examples to illustrate other, and sometimes surprising, behaviour of the loss networks in heavy traffic. The networks we consider operate under somewhat unusual routing rules but this is to enable us to produce the behaviour in networks with only a few links. In larger, real-world networks it is likely that much more ‘natural' and intuitively appealing routing rules could produce similar undesirable behaviour.
