Now the number of subscribers can be calculated m.Erlang/sub. .suppose it is 12.0 m.Erlang/sub.Now see the Erlang capacity of BSC .suppose it is 1200 Erlang.Now divide the Erlang capacity of BSC with milli erlang/sub.This will give no. of subscibers. in our case it is 100000.So answer is 100000 requests/ 1 Hour.
