This article provides entropic inequalities for binomial-Poisson distributions, derived from the two point space. They appear as local inequalities of the M/M/ queue. They describe in particular the exponential dissipation of -entropies along this process. This simple queueing process appears as a model of “constant curvature”, and plays for the simple Poisson process the role played by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for brownian Motion. Some of the inequalities are recovered by semi-group interpolation. Additionally, we explore the behaviour of these entropic inequalities under a particular scaling, which sees the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as a fluid limit of M/M/ queues. Proofs are elementary and rely essentially on the development of a “-calculus”.
