Abstract

The asymptotic probability of buffer overflow for a queueing system with a Markov fluid input and deterministic service rate is derived by way of large deviation theory. The equations characterizing the deviant behavior are presented and examples are given for which closed-form solutions may be obtained. An independence result extends the analysis to cases where the input is an aggregate of independent Markov fluids.
