abstract = {Congestion controls are a key factor in achieving
the robust performance required of common channel signaling (CCS) networks in
the face of partial network failures and extreme traffic loads, especially as
networks become large and carry high traffic volume. The CCITT recommendations
define a number of types of congestion control, and the parameters of the
controls must be well set in order to ensure their efficacy under transient and
sustained signalling network overload. The objective of this paper is to present
a modeling approach to the determination of the network parameters that govern
the performance of the SS7 congestion controls under sustained overload. Results
of the investigation by simulation are presented and discussed.}
