The present paper investigates the limiting distribution of the number of busy channels (queue size) and the remaining lengths of holding times at an epoch of departure for a loss system with general holding times and exponentially distributed interarrival times. Further, it is established that for this loss system in the limit an interdeparture interval length is independent of the queue size at the end of the interval and is distributed according to an exponential distribution with mean λ–1. It is also seen that in the limit interdeparture times are mutually independent.
