Abstract: We present upper and lower bounds for the tail distribution of the stationary waiting time D in the stable GI/GI/s FCFS queue. These bounds depend on the value of the traffic load ho which is the ratio of mean service and mean interarrival times. For service times with intermediate regularly varying tail distribution the bounds are exact up to a constant, and we are able to establish a `principle of sk big jumps' in this case (here k is the integer part of ho), which gives the most probable way for the stationary waiting time to be large. Another corollary of the bounds obtained is to provide a new proof of necessity and sufficiency of conditions for the existence of moments of the stationary waiting time.
