Abstract :
The letter presents derivations of a generalised probability density and distribution functions of packet service times for computer communication networks. Included in the derivation are the effects of message segmentation into packets and the effects of control traffic. We also present the first and the second moments of the packet service times. These expressions can be used in modelling and analysis of computer networks by assigning appropriate values to various parameters.
