A number of authors have studied busy period problems for particular cases of the general single-server queueing system. For example, using the now standard notation of Kendall [7], GI/M/1 was studied by Conolly [3] and Takacs [18]. Earlier work on M/M/1 includes that of Ledermann and Reuter [8] and Bailey [1]. Kendall [6], Takacs [17], and Prabhu [11] have considered M/G/1.
