In Internet traffic modeling, many authors presented models based on particular fractal shot noise representations. The inconvenience of these approaches is the multitude of assumptions and the lack of tools to check them. In this paper we propose a unified model based on a general Poisson shot noise representation for the cumulative input process (CIP). We present a procedure of approximation of this process; then we give a procedure for controlling the bandwidth of Internet providers. The approximation and control go via limit theorems for functionals of the CIP, namely, the supremum process, the right inverse, and the storage mapping.

Let (X, J) denote a Markov-modulated Brownian motion (MMBM) and denote its supremum process by S. For some a > 0, let σ(a) denote the time when the reflected process Y := S - X first surpasses the level a. Furthermore, let σ−(a) denote the last time before σ(a) when X attains its current supremum. In this paper we shall derive the joint distribution of S σ(a), σ−(a), and σ(a), where the latter two will be given in terms of their Laplace transforms. We also provide some remarks on scale matrices for MMBMs with strictly positive variation parameters. This extends recent results for spectrally negative Lévy processes to MMBMs. Due to well-known fluid embedding and state-dependent killing techniques, the analysis applies to Markov additive processes with phase-type jumps as well. The result is of interest to applications such as the dividend problem in insurance mathematics and the buffer overflow problem in queueing theory. Examples will be given for the former.

In this paper we study the integral of the supremum process of standard Brownian motion. We present an explicit formula for the moments of the integral (or area)(T) covered by the process in the time interval [0,T]. The Laplace transform of(T) follows as a consequence. The main proof involves a double Laplace transform of(T) and is based on excursion theory and local time for Brownian motion.

For a spectrally negative Lévy process X on the real line, let S denote its supremum process and let I denote its infimum process. For a > 0, let τ(a) and κ(a) denote the times when the reflected processes Ŷ := S − X and Y := X − I first exit level a, respectively; let τ−(a) and κ−(a) denote the times when X first reaches Sτ(a) and Iκ(a), respectively. The main results of this paper concern the distributions of (τ(a), Sτ(a), τ−(a), Ŷτ(a)) and of (κ(a), Iκ(a), κ−(a)). They generalize some recent results on spectrally negative Lévy processes. Our approach relies on results concerning the solution to the two-sided exit problem for X. Such an approach is also adapted to study the excursions for the reflected processes. More explicit expressions are obtained when X is either a Brownian motion with drift or a completely asymmetric stable process.

Let D = D[0, ∞) be the space of all real-valued right-continuous functions on [0, ∞) with limits from the left. For any stochastic process X in D, let the associated supremum process be S(X), wherefor any x ∊ D. It is easy to verify that S: D → D is continuous in any of Skorohod's (1956) topologies extended from D[0,1] to D[0, ∞) (cf. Stone (1963) and Whitt (1970a, c)). Hence, weak convergence Xn ⇒ X in D implies weak convergence S(Xn) ⇒ S(X) in D by virtue of the continuous mapping theorem (cf. Theorem 5.1 of Billingsley (1968)).
