Abstract :
A formula is developed to calculate the cell loss probability for an ATM buffer fed by a single ON/OFF source. This fluid-flow method uses balance equations to give a geometric progression for the state probabilities. Results show better accuracy than fluid-flow analysis based on differential equations. This cell loss formula can be applied as a more accurate component in connection admission control and bandwidth management algorithms for ATM networks
