network of single-server queues with the following characteristics:
- M = # of queues in the system, not counting queue 0 which represents the outside world
- = service rate at queue
- = total rate at which jobs arrive at queue
- utilization of the service at queue
- =# of jobs in queue i at time t
- = the system state at time t
-
-
- Arrivals from the outside world are Poisson. All queues have exponential service time distributions.
