Taking profit of the Markov regenerative structure of these systems, we develop an efficient recursive procedure to compute the probability mass function of the number of losses in busy-periods starting with an arbitrary number of customers in the system. The derived computational procedure is easy to implement and leads to a fast numerical computation of the loss probabilities. To illustrate the effectiveness of the procedure, loss probabilities are computed for a wide variety of queues, with different capacities, batch size distributions, and arrival and service parameters.engbook part10.1007/978-3-642-34904-1_17
