Abstract

In this paper we focus on the behavior of the leaky bucket mechanism with respect to second-order statistics of the departure process under various correlated cell arrival and deterministic token arrival distributions. We derive expressions for the lag-k auto-correlation of the inter-departure times for the leaky bucket cell departure stream and we produce numerical examples for the lag-k auto-correlation of the leaky bucket inter-departure times for several different cell arrival distributions exhibiting both positive and negative auto-correlations.
