This paper introduces a new analytical model of a multi-service system to which a heterogeneous mixture of stream, elastic, and adaptive traffic is offered, corresponding to data streams transmitted in real-world networks. The heterogeneity results from the coexistence of compressed and non-compressed traffic classes, where the compressed traffic is subject to a finite compression mechanism and includes both elastic and adaptive traffic. The model accounts for access constraints on resources for stream traffic, a strategy frequently used in modern ICT networks to manage the impact of high-rate data streams on overall system performance. The proposed model is developed based on an analysis of the service process within the system using multi-dimensional Markov processes. To assess the accuracy of the analytical model, a digital simulation is conducted. A comparative analysis of the results obtained from the analytical model and the simulation experiments confirms the high accuracy and robustness of the proposed approach, making it suitable for the design and optimization of modern ICT networks, including 5G systems.
