Abstract

In a closed cycle of exponential queues where the first and the last nodes are multiserver queues while the other nodes are single-server queues, the cycle-time distribution has a simple product form. The same result holds for passage-time distributions on overtake-free paths in Gordon–Newell networks. In brief, we prove Burke's theorem on passage times in closed networks.
