Packet loss characteristics for M/G/1/N queueing systems

Abstract: In this contribution we investigate higher-order loss characteristics for M/G/1/N queueing systems. We focus on the lengths of the loss and non-loss periods as well as on the number of arrivals during these periods. For the analysis, we extend the Markovian state of the queueing system with the time and number of admitted arrivals since the instant where the last loss occurred. By combining transform and matrix techniques, expressions for the various moments of these loss characteristics are found. The approac… Show more

“…Other related "loss metrics" include the loss period (the difference between the arrival times of the last and first in a series of consecutively lost packets); its behavior was addressed by Fiems et al [21], in an M/G/1/K queue, in terms of a joint transform with the number of losses within such a period. Another is the block loss probability (the fraction of lost packets within a block of consecutive arrivals); a recursive formula was obtained by Cidon et al [16] in an IPP/M/1/K queue, whereas an explicit expression was later derived by Gurewitz et al [25] using ballot theorems in the M/M/1/K case; for a discussion of applications of such results to FEC schemes see [21]. Lastly, we mention the number of lost packets in a busy period (loss as well as blocking periods are sub-intervals of busy periods); asymptotic properties (in K) were obtained by Abramov [1].…”

“…Since the number of newly incoming messages is larger than amount of processed and sent messages, the number of messages delayed in the receiving queue (waiting to be processed and forwarded) will continuously increase. Because a network system has finite buffer memory to hold the queue and cannot expand the buffer memory indefinitely, queue congestion occurs, and the queue becomes full as a result [37]. In this case, the system has no other option than to simply discard excess packets (i.e., packet loss).…”
