The Modulated-Input Modulated-Output Model
In this paper we discuss why message acknowledgements are an appropriate engineering approach to meet system functionality. The data replication problem in database systems is our motivation. We introduce a new queueing theoretic model, the MIMO model, that incorporates burstiness in the sending side and busy periods in the receiving side. Based on simulation results derived from this model, we show that the buffer requirements from M/M/1/N queues are too optimistic
