Analysis of a three node queueing network

From MaRDI portal





The three node Jackson queueing network is the simplest acyclic network in which in equilibrium the sojourn times of a customer at each of the nodes are dependent. We show that assuming the individual sojourn times are independent provides a good approximation to the total sojourn time. This is done by simulating the network and showing that the sojourn times generally pass a Kolmogorov-Smirnteady state vector which can be computed efficiently. Algorithms are also developed to compute the characteristics of the departure stream of customers from each queue. Some numerical results are presented, and based on these results an efficient approximation scheme for the system is developed which may possibly be extended to systems with more than two parallel queues.
