  • Abstract
    The sustainable load of fibre delay line buffers, defined as the load at which a system with infinite buffering capacity becomes unstable, is discussed. Owing to the particularities of fibre delay line buffers, namely their finite delay granularity, this sustainable load is generally less than 100%. It is further shown that the packet-size distribution has some impact too.
