Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Convergence of Multiclass Queueing Networks in Heavy Traffic
In his pioneering paper on queueing networks, Jackson [22] assumed that customers visiting or occupying any given station are essentially indistinguishable from one another, and that a customer completing service at station i will move next to station j with some fixed probability n, independent of all previous history. Thus in Jackson's networks, each station serves a single customer class, hence these networks have been called single-class networks. Jackson's model was extended by Baskett ci al. [1] and Kelly [24] to networks populated by multiple types of customers, each type following a deterministic route. The routing mechanism described in this paper subsumes those considered in [1, Readers are referred to Harrison [14] and Harrison and Nguyen [15, 16] for further discussion.
