AbstractThe Rapp formula of teletraffic dimensioning is generalized to admit an arbitrary renewal stream of offered traffic. The derivation proceeds from a heavy traffic approximation and provides also an estimate of the order of error involved in the Rapp formula. In principle, the method could be used to seek convenient higher order approximations.Our equations give an incidental theoretical substantiation of an empirical result relating to marginal occupancy found recently by Potter.

HEAVY-TRAFFIC APPROXIMATIONS FOR A LAYERED NETWORK WITH LIMITED RESOURCESMotivated by a web-server model, we present a queueing network consisting of two layers. The first layer incorporates the arrival of customers at a network of two single-server nodes. We assume that the interarrival and the service times have general distributions. Customers are served according to their arrival order at each node and after finishing their service they can re-enter at nodes several times for another service. At the second layer, active servers act as jobs that are served by a single server working at speed one in a processor-sharing fashion. We further assume that the degree of resource sharing is limited by choice, leading to a limited processor-sharing discipline. Our main result is a diffusion approximation for the process describing the number of customers in the system. Assuming a single bottleneck node and studying the system as it approaches heavy traffic, we prove a state-space collapse property.

A second-order heavy traffic approximation for the stationary waiting-time d.f. G for GI/G/1 queues is derived, the first-order term of which is Kingman's (1961), (1962a), (1965) exponential approximation. On the way to this result there are others of independent interest, such as a convolution equation relating this waiting time d.f. G with the d.f. of a related ladder height, an integral equation for G and some stochastic bounds for G. The main result requires a particular type of functional convergence that may also be of interest.
