Short Description:
We are considering arrival events following a Poisson process, as e.g. in the M/M/1 queue with rate lambda. However, arrivals from Poisson process are discarded. In scenario A), every second arrival is discarded. In scenario B), each arrival is independently discarded with probability 1/2. Is there a difference in the performance of both systems?
