Abstract

A type of service system of particular interest in teletraffic theory has the property that calls (customers) originating from different sources have access to different subsets of a single group of devices (servers). One may or may not allow the formation of queues. Thierer [11], [12] has studied such a system with queues assuming it to be reversible. We investigate the conditions under which this assumption is exact.
