Review
queueing theory Ref: 1) M. Schwartz, Broadband Integrated Networks (appendix) 2) Leonard Kleinrock, Richard Gail, Queueing Systems: Problems and Solutions A typo in the previous slides: for the equation of P_0 on page 34, sum_{n-1}^{N-1} should be sum_{n=1}^{N-1}. We have updated the slide and fixed the typo. Thanks to Dale who pointed it out. |
