We show that using the FIFO service discipline at single server stations with ILR (increasing likelihood ratio) service time distributions in networks of monotone queues results in stochastically earlier departures throughout the network. The converse is true at stations with DLR (decreasing likelihood ratio) service time distributions. We use these results to establish the validity of the following comparisons:(i) The throughput of a closed network of FIFO single-server queues will be larger (smaller) when the service times are ILR (DLR) rather than exponential with the same means.(ii) The total stationary number of customers in an open network of FIFO single-server queues with Poisson external arrivals will be stochastically smaller (larger) when the service times are ILR (DLR) rather than exponential with the same means.We also give a surprising counterexample to show that although FIFO stochastically maximizes the number of departures by any time t from an isolated single-server queue with IHR (increasing hazard rate, which is weaker than ILR) service times, this is no longer true for networks of more than one queue. Thus the ILR assumption cannot be relaxed to IHR.Finally, we consider multiclass networks of exponential single-server queues, where the class of a customer at a particular station determines its service rate at that station, and show that serving the customer with the highest service rate (which is SEPT — shortest expected processing time first) results in stochastically earlier departures throughout the network, among all preemptive work-conserving policies. We also show that a cµ rule stochastically maximizes the number of non-defective service completions by any time t when there are random, agreeable, yields.

Service Times

Using recent results in tandem queues and queueing networks with renewal input, when successive service times of the same customer are varying (and when the busy periods are frequently not broken up in large networks), the local queueing delay of a single server queueing network is evaluated utilizing new concepts of virtual and actual delays (respectively). It appears that because of an important property, due to the underlying tandem queue effect, the usual queueing standards (related to long queues) cannot protect against significant overloads in the buffers due to some possible “agglutination phenomenon” (related to short queues). Usual network management methods and traffic simulation methods should be revised, and should monitor the partial traffic streams loads (and not only the server load).

Traffic Source

To evaluate the local actual queueing delay in general single server queueing networks with non-correlated successive service times for the same customer, we start from a recent work using the tandem queue effect, when two successive local arrivals are not separated by “premature departures”. In that case, two assumptions were made: busy periods not broken up, and there are limited variations for successive service times. These assumptions are given up after having crossed two stages. The local arrivals become indistinguishable for the sojourn time inside a given busy period. It is then proved that the local sojourn time of this tandem queue effect may be considered as the sum of two components: the first (independent of the local interarrival time) corresponding to the case where upstream, successive service times are supposed to be identical to the local service time, and the second (negligible after having crossed 2 or 3 stages) depending on local interarrival times increasing because of broken up busy periods. The consequence is the possible occurrence of the agglutination phenomenon of indistinguishable customers in the buffers (when there are limited “premature departures”), due to a stronger impact of long service times upon the local actual queueing delay, which is not consistent with the traditional concept of local traffic source only generating distinguishable customers.

Equilibrium Distributions

It has recently been shown that networks of queues with state-dependent movement of negative customers, and with state-independent triggering of customer movement have product-form equilibrium distributions. Triggers and negative customers are entities which, when arriving to a queue, force a single customer to be routed through the network or leave the network respectively. They are ‘signals' which affect/control network behaviour. The provision of state-dependent intensities introduces queues other than single-server queues into the network. This paper considers networks with state-dependent intensities in which signals can be either a trigger or a batch of negative customers (the batch size being determined by an arbitrary probability distribution). It is shown that such networks still have a product-form equilibrium distribution. Natural methods for state space truncation and for the inclusion of multiple customer types in the network can be viewed as special cases of this state dependence. A further generalisation allows for the possibility of signals building up at nodes.

Insight Into

This paper considers a queueing system consisting of two single-server queues in series, in which the service times of an arbitrary customer at both queues are identical. Customers arrive at the first queue according to a Poisson process.Of this model, which is of importance in modern network design, a rather complete analysis will be given. The results include necessary and sufficient conditions for stationarity of the tandem system, expressions for the joint stationary distributions of the actual waiting times at both queues and of the virtual waiting times at both queues, and explicit expressions (i.e., not in transform form) for the stationary distributions of the sojourn times and of the actual and virtual waiting times at the second queue.In Part II (pp. 644–659) these results will be used to obtain asymptotic and numerical results, which will provide more insight into the general phenomenon of tandem queueing with correlated service times at the consecutive queues.

Service Times

This paper studies theGI/G/1 queueing system assuming that customers have service times depending on the queue size and also that they are served in accordance with the preemptive-resume last-come–first-served queue discipline. Expressions are given for the limiting distribution of the queue size and the remaining durations of the corresponding services, when the system is considered at arrival epochs, at departure epochs and continuously in time. Also these results are applied to some particular cases of the above queueing system.
