Abstract :
A formula is presented that acts as a design rule when multiplexing many homogeneous long range dependent (LRD) ON-OFF processes through a buffer. The formula enables the buffer overflow probability, or the required buffer length, to be predicted. Sources have Pareto distributed ON periods and exponentially distributed OFF periods. From the results (formulas and numerical), valuable tools and insight can be developed which will be applicable to the design of future packetised communication networks, switches and routers
