We address the recently suggested problem of causal lossless coding of a\nrandomly arriving source samples. We construct variable-to-fixed coding schemes\nand show that they outperform the previously considered fixed-to-variable\nschemes when traffic is high both in terms of delay and Age of Information by\nappealing to tools from queueing theory. We supplement our theoretical bounds\nwith numerical simulations.\n
