For the Future Internet and the Internet of Things, access and transport networks with much higher capacity than today are expected. As a result the bottleneck in large scale multi-probe networks will move from the network to the processing units, denoted as information sinks. Our contribution is a generic analytical performance model which enables an analysis of the resource requirements and handling at these information sinks. We will consider the required amount of buffer space at the information sink for a certain target duration until all requests are processed within an interval. This duration is denoted as reaction time. The presented model and the performed investigations can support application designers to choose the right mechanisms required for their scenario
