Abstract The control of telephony traffic is the task of network management and routing algorithms. In this paper, a study of two trunk groups carrying telephony traffic is used to show that instabilities can arise if there is a delay in getting feedback information for a network controller. The network controller seeks to balance the traffic in the two trunk groups, which may represent two paths from a source to a destination. An analysis shows how factors such as holding time, controller gain and feedback delay influence stability. Simulation of a two service case is also carried out to show that the same instabilities can arise.
