Abstract
We consider I fluid queues in parallel. Each fluid queue has a deterministic inflow with a constant rate. At a random instant subject to a Poisson process, random amounts of fluids are simultaneously reduced. The requested amounts for the reduction are subject to a general I -dimensional distribution. The queues with inventories that are smaller than the requests are emptied. Stochastic upper bounds are considered for the stationary distribution of the joint buffer contents. Our major interest is in finding exponential product-form bounds, which turn out to have the appropriate decay rates with respect to certain linear combinations of buffer contents.
