✦ Synopsis

Under general conditions for c-server loss systems, B c , the fraction of customers lost, is decreasing and convex. We study the shape of {B c } for retrial queues. We show B c+1 > B c is possible. For arbitrary arrivals and exponential service, we show {B c } is decreasing, and report simulations where it is convex.
