Abstract

We investigate a cycle of Bernoulli servers in discrete time. We show that the joint distribution of a customer’s sojourn times at the nodes during a round trip is of product form and can explicitly be written down. The results are used to prove independence of sojourn times in an open series of Bernoulli servers.
