Abstract

We consider the classical cyclic polling model with Poisson arrivals and with gated service at all queues, but where the local scheduling policies are not necessarily First-Come- First-Served (FCFS). More precisely, we study the waitingtime performance of polling models where the local service order is Last-Come-First-Served (LCFS), Random-Orderof- Service (ROS) or Processor Sharing (PS). Under heavytraffic conditions the waiting times turn out to converge to products of generalized trapezoidal distributions and a gamma distribution.
