Abstract

In this paper we study Markovian queueing networks in which the service and the routing characteristics have a particular form which leads to a product form stationary distribution for the number of customers in the various queues of the network. We show that if certain transitions are prohibited due to blocking conditions, then the form of the stationary distribution is preserved under a certain rerouting protocol. Several examples are presented which illustrate the wide applicability of the model.
