On a three-node loss network, each pair offers direct calls of load to its link of capacity . If blocked, the call tries the two-link path through the remaining node. The symmetric reduced-load approximation gives a link its direct load and two overflow contributions , hence the displayed equation. For , , its residual has alternating signs at , giving at least three distinct roots. This multiplicity belongs to the Erlang fixed point approximation, not to the exact stationary law of a finite reachable Markov chain.
