Abstract

This paper discusses the asymptotic behavior of the loss probability for general queues with finite GI/M/1 type structure such as GI/M/c/K, SM/M/1/K and GI/MSP/1/K queues. We find an explicit expression for the asymptotic behavior of the loss probability as K tends to infinity. With the result, it is shown that the loss probability tends to 0 at a geometric rate.
