We demonstrate the application of recent advances in statistical mechanics to a problem in telecommunication engineering: the assessment of the quality of a communication channel in terms of rare and extreme events. In particular, we discuss non-Markovian models for telecommunication traffic in continuous time and deploy the "cloning" procedure of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to efficiently compute their effective bandwidths. The cloning method allows us to evaluate the performance of a traffic protocol even in the absence of analytical results, which are often hard to obtain when the dynamics are non-Markovian.
