Appendix: A primer on heavy-tailed distributions (Q1975034)

From the footnote: This appendix is to serve as an introduction to the basics of heavy-tailed distributions from the point of view of a queueing theorist. It is not meant to be an introduction to queues nor is it meant to serve as a detailed source of references on either heavy-tailed distributions or queueing results. Only proofs of selected results have been provided.
