Abstract
A queueing model with multi-server having binomial distributed interruptions is proposed. A technique to deduce the expression for the buffer probability mass function is investigated which greatly simplifies the analysis of the multi-server queue. To estimate the buffer size for a specified very low overflow probability, an inequality is derived. Using the technique presented, the store-and-forward buffer of an integrated digital voice-data system is analysed.
