Abstract :
An infinite capacity single server queueing system is considered, to which messages consisting of a variable number of fixed-length packets arrive at the rate of one packet per slot (`train arrivals´). Assuming geometrically distributed message lengths. An exact closed-form expression for the probability generating function (pgf) of the buffer contents is obtained
