Abstract

This paper introduces a new form of local balance and the corresponding product-form results. It is shown that these new product-form results allow capacity constraints at the stations of a queueing network without reversibility assumptions and without special blocking protocols. In particular, exact product-form results for heavily loaded queueing networks are obtained.
