Abstract
The performance of single-wavelength fiber delay line buffer with finite
waiting places is evaluated in this paper. For Poisson arriving packets with
arbitrarily distributed lengths, the generating function of delay time distribution
can be derived from the quantized delay buffer model. Then queue length distributions,
loss probability, and other important performance measures can be figured
out. Specifically, two important cases of negative-exponentially distributed
packet lengths and fixed packet lengths are considered and compared. The accuracy
of the proposed approach is verified through simulation. It is also observed
that the buffer system performs more effectively for the fixed-length packets.
