Abstract

Balanced job bounds (BJB) is a technique for obtaining lower and upper bounds on the throughput of a separable closed queuing network. The conceptual simplicity and the low computational complexity of this technique make these bounds very attractive. However, whereas the lower bound is usually quite good, the upper bound may be loose. In this paper, we present an improved BJB analysis for obtaining a tight upper bound.
