Abstract

Introducing the concept of overall station balance which extends the notion of station balance to non-Markovian queueing networks, several necessary and sufficient conditions are given for overall station balance to hold. Next the concept of decomposability is introduced and it is related to overall station balance. A particular case corresponding to a Jackson-type queueing network is considered in some more detail.
