Abstract
We analyse the output stream from a packet buffer governed by the policy that incoming packets are dropped with a probability related to the buffer occupancy. The results include formulas for the number of packets departing the buffer in a specific time, for the time-dependent output rate and for the steady-state output rate. The latter is the key performance measure of the buffering mechanism, as it reflects its ability to process a specific number of packets in a time unit. To ensure broad applicability of the results in various networks and traffic types, a powerful and versatile model of the input stream is used, i.e., a BMAP. Numeric examples are provided, with several parameterisations of the BMAP, dropping probabilities and loads of the system.
