The book provides an extensive introduction to queueing models driven by Levy-processes as well as a systematic account of the literature on Levy-driven queues. The objective is to make the reader familiar with the wide set of probabilistic techniques that have been developed over the past decades, including transform-based techniques, martingales, rate-conservation arguments, change-of-measure, importance sampling, and large deviations. On the application side, it demonstrates how Levy traffic models arise when modelling current queueing-type systems (as communication networks) and...
