Abstract

We establish the quasireversibility of a certain exponential multiserver queue. The queuing discipline imposes restrictions on the numbers of customers of different classes and subclasses that can be served simultaneously. Customer loss is also allowed. Due to its quasireversibility the queue can be used as a node in a product form network. Our work generalizes work of Le Boudec, Krzesinski, and Crosby.
