Abstract

We address the probability that k or more consecutive customer losses take place during a busy period of a queue, the so called k-CCL probability. We derive efficient algorithms to compute k-CCL probabilities in M/G/1/n and GI/M(m)//n systems for busy periods starting with an arbitrary number of customers in the system that, essentially, reduce to solving either simple recursions or linear systems of equations.
