We approximate the exit distribution of a Markov jump process into a set of forbidden states and we apply these general results to an ATM multiplexor. In this case the forbidden states represent an overloaded multiplexor. Statistics for this overload or busy period are difficult to obtain since this is such a rare event. Starting from the approximate exit distribution, one may simulate the busy period without wasting simulation time waiting for the overload to occur.
