Summary

The aim of the present note is to give an alternative simpler proof to a result of Belyaev [1], namely that in a loss system of n servers with recurrent input and negative exponential service times the intervals between losses, suitably scaled to have constant mean, tend to a negative exponential distribution as n tends to infinity.
