d
The downstream service rate of a queue now exceeds the upstream cap for all sufficiently large L, since
DL(1+γ)/2>CL(1+β)/2(γ>β).
(1)
But the bufferless queue output is always at most uL​. Therefore the downstream queue overflow probability is eventually exactly zero, and
Llim​Lγ1​logP(overflow)=−∞.​
(2)
This is a deterministic cap argument, stronger than merely proving superexponentially small probability.
