Abstract

We introduce loss rates, a novel class of performance measures for Markovian stochastic fluid models and discuss their applications potential. We derive analytical expressions for loss rates and describe efficient methods for their evaluation. Further, we study interesting asymptotic properties of loss rates for large size of the buffer, which are crucial for identifying the Quality of Service requirements guaranteed for each user. We illustrate the theory with a numerical example.
