Description: Mathematical probability models are presented to describe the service furnished to messages approaching c communications channels, on which messages in progress may be 'destroyed' by an attempted access by a new message. Re-tries by destroyed messages are modeled. Numerical results, using the models, are compared to simulations, validating model usefulness. (Author)
