      In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of
      selective discard in a multiplexer subject to a
      long-range dependent process. We consider loss
      conserving disciplines, and we evaluate the impact
      of the input process traffic characteristics such as
      the Hurst parameter and variance into the per class
      loss rate and the loss gap. We found out that the
      Complete Sharing discipline is clearly worth
      adopting whereas Complete Sharing with Guaranteed
      Queue Minimum may be not.  Furthermore, we show that
      the choice of push out policy may impact
      significantly the perceived QoS.
