Guide to the Length of Buffer Storage Required for Random (Poisson) Input and Constant Output Rates
Neville M. Dor · IEEE Transactions on Electronic Computers · 1967
The required buffer size for a random (Poisson) input word rate with constant rate removal in the same order as arrival is considered. The method of computation rests on analytical study. Results are tabulated for a range of values and may be used as a design guide. Applications may be found in both the partitioning of computer stores and in the communications field of data compression.
