Applications of matrix-geometric solutions to the analysis of the bursty data queue in a B-ISDN switching system

The authors consider a B-ISDN (broadband integrated services digital network) communications switching system, involving two groups of services: high-speed continuous bit-steam-oriented services, and bursty data services. They study the performance of the bursty data queue by modeling it as an M/M/1 queue in a Markovian environment. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the data queue as a function of its arrival process.<>
