Theoretical analysis of network cranback protocols performance
  Suggested the decision of the network cranback protocols performance analyzing problem from Eyal Felstine, Reuven Cohen and Ofer Hadar, " Crankback Prediction in Hierarchical ATM networks", Journal of Network and Systems Management, Vol. 10, No. 3, September 2002. It show that the false alarm probability and probability of successful way crossing can be calculated. The main optimization equations are developed for cranback protocol parameters by using analytical expressions for statistical protocol characteristics.
