Delay of Geo^X/Geo/1 N-limited Nonstop Forwarding Queue

Yutae Lee

Nonstop forwarding is designed to minimize packet loss when a management system fails to function. A system with non-stop forwarding can continue to forward some packets even in the event of a processor failure. We consider aGeoX/Geo/1N-limited nonstop forwarding queue. In this queueing system, when the server breaks down, up to Ncustomers can be serviced during the repair time.The delay distribution of customers is given by matrix geometric analysis.
