Loss rate asymptotics in a GI/G/1 queue with finite buffer

Pihlsgård, Mats LU (2005) In Stochastic Models 21(4). p.913-931
Abstract
We consider the stationary loss rate l(K) of a GI/G/1 queue with finite buffer of size K. Let X-n = U-n - T-n, n >= 1 where U-n is the service time, T-n is the interarrival time and let rho be the traffic intensity. We derive sharp asymptotics for the loss rate as K -> infinity, in the cases (i): rho > 1, and (ii): rho < 1 and X-n non-lattice with light tails. We also look at another reflection, related to Moran's dam model. As an example, we look at the PH/PH/1 case, where we show how to compute the asymptotic loss rate as well as the exact one and illustrate our results numerically.
