Dec 17, 2021 at 20:51 comment added Iosif Pinelis I will try to find time to write down an answer.
Dec 17, 2021 at 15:00 comment added leeyee @IosifPinelis Yes, $D_i$'s are iid.
Dec 17, 2021 at 12:20 comment added Iosif Pinelis Are the $D_i$'s iid?
Dec 17, 2021 at 4:39 comment added leeyee @IosifPinelis Yes, $D_i$'s are independent of $B_i$'s. We may think of $B_i$'s as the busy period of a queueing system. It occurs when a customer arrives at the empty system. In the current setting, I'm trying to not assume a specific arrival pattern.

Added an attempted solution
Dec 17, 2021 at 1:39 comment added Iosif Pinelis The setting is still not quite clear to me. Can you define it formally? Say, can we assume that the beginning of the $i$th stalling period is $D_1+B_1+D_2+\cdots+B_{i-1}+D_i$, where the $D_i$'s are iid independent of $B_i$'s? If so, what else do we know about the durations $D_i$?

clarified conditions
Dec 17, 2021 at 1:11 comment added leeyee @Iosif Pinelis Thanks for reminding this important point. The appearance of $B_i$'s is a renewal process. In a fraction of $\rho$ time the system may see a $B_i$. Let $N(t)$ denote the number of $B_i$'s in a duration of time $t$. Using renewal theory, the appearance frequency of $B_i$'s is approximately $\lim_{t\rightarrow \infty}\frac{N(t)}{t}=\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\rho t/\mathrm{E}[B]}{t}=\frac{\rho}{\mathrm{E}[B]}$. I have updated the question.
Dec 16, 2021 at 15:00 comment added Iosif Pinelis What do you mean by "occasionally"? How often do these occasions come? In what way -- by themselves and in relation with the $B_i$'s?
