      The traffic in the future Broadband Integrated Digital Networks
      is highly correlated and neglecting these correlations leads to
      a dramatic underestimation of performance.  Being able to
      accurately estimate end-to-end performance is of paramount
      importance for traffic control. The purpose of this paper is to
      introduce a procedure for modeling the output process of a
      finite discrete time queue with selective discard mechanism
      loaded with a prioritized Discrete-time Batch Markovian Arrival
      Process (D-BMAP[H,L]) in which the priority level of a cell
      depends on the priority level of other cells in the flow.  We
      show through numerical examples that his procedure is reasonably
      accurate. Moreover, we introduce a framework for the analysis of
      queueing networks with prioritized Markov Modulated flows.
