LRD and SRD traffic: review of results and open issues for the batch renewal process

The batch renewal process is the least-biased choice of process given only the measures of count correlation and interval correlation at all lags. aper reviews the batch renewal process, both for LRD (long-range-dependent) traffic and for SRD (short-range-dependent) traffic in the discrete space–discrete time domain, and in the wider context of general traffic in that domain. It shows some applications of the batch renewal process in simple queues and in queueing network models. The paper concludes with open research problems and issues arising from the discussion.
