 Solution

Take two independent rate-one Poisson processes $N^{+}$ and $N^{-}$, and letThe difference of independent Poisson processes starts at zero and has stationary increments and independent increments. Its paths are càdlàg. For an interval of length $h$, the probability of any jump is $1-e^{-2h}\to 0$, proving stochastic continuity. Thus $X$ is a Lévy process. The characteristic function of a Poisson distribution with mean $t$ is $\exp (t(e^{iu}-1))$, so independence givesThe sample paths are integer-valued step functions with jumps $+1$ or $-1$. On every bounded interval there are only finitely many jumps, and independent Poisson arrival times coincide with probability zero. The combined arrival rate is two: holding times are independent exponentials of rate two, and each jump direction has probability $1/2$, independently of the holding times. This is equivalently a Compound Poisson process of rate two with Rademacher distribution jump sizes. Its paths have finite variation on compact time intervals, although there are infinitely many jumps over the whole half-line almost surely.
