Abstract

In this paper, we prove the asymptotic equivalence between closed, open and mixed multiclass BCMP queueing networks. Under the assumption that the service demands of a given station, for sufficiently large population sizes, are greater than the ones of all the other stations, we prove that as the total number of customers semi-proportionallygrows to infinity the underlying Markov chain of a closed network converges to the underlying Markov chain of a suitable open or mixed network. The equivalence theorem lets us extend the state of the art exact asymptotic theory of queueing networks considering a general population growth and including the case in which stations have load-dependent rates of service, and provides a natural technique for the approximate on-line solution of closed networks with large populations. We also show the validity of Little's law in the limit.
