✦ Synopsis

The buffer design problem is studied for the cases where there exist single-and multiple-input lines with Poisson or Poisson bursts arrivals, periodic block or batch type removals, and binomial feedback.

Using traffic intensity o, block size c, and the feedback probability P, as parameters, the analytical expressions concerning the average fractional information loss, the channel utilization and the average buffering delay in relation to the buffer length are derived. These relationships are computed for a set of parameter values and are plotted to be used as a basis for the buffer design. The present study should be valuable in designing engineering systems such as time sharing computer systems, information compression systems, computer networks, road traffic simulators, telephone exchanges etc. An illustra-

tive example of a single-input buffer system of the type considered is fully discussed.
