Abstract

For a re-entrant line operating under the last-buffer-first-serve service policy, there have been two independent proofs of a heavy traffic limit theorem. The key to these proofs is to prove the uniform convergence of a critical fluid model. We give a new proof for the uniform convergence of the fluid model.
