We assume that the buffer is filled up at a constant rate and we analyze the case when this filling rate satisfies an optimization condition according to the customer demands. First, we consider semi-Markov on-off demands for the case N = 2 and we model the dynamics of the system using a semi-Markov evolution environment. We show that we can use the phase merging algorithm to reduce the problem to a Markov evolution environment case. Then, we generalize the results for any N using a birth-and-death process.} }
