Abstract :
We review some recently developed fast simulation concepts and techniques used for estimating the probability of rare buffer overflows in a class of queueing models that arise in the analysis of ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) communication networks. We then discuss some new applications of these concepts to estimate buffer loss probabilities in ATM networks where packets have different types of priorities.
