Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of the interarrival and interdeparture times between voice packets when they are proceeding through a number of network nodes. We model the arrival process in a node as the superposition of a single tagged stream and an independent background process that aggregates the remaining traffic sources. Because we assume that the load of a single voice stream is very low compared to the load of the aggregate traffic, we can represent the tagged voice packets as markers (packets with size zero). We will establish an expression for the probability generating function (pgf) of the interdeparture time of the voice packets after one stage and use this interdeparture-time pgf as the pgf of the interarrival time of the voice packets in the next stage, in order to assess the evolution of the interarrival-time characteristics throughout the network.
