Calculation of end-to-end delay quantile in network of M/G/1 queues
12 April 2001
A closed-form heuristic formula to calculate the delay quantile for a network consisting of identically loaded, independent nodes modelled as M/G/1 queues is introduced. The accuracy of thr heuristic formula is demonstrated by means of some numerical examples, Since the heuristic formula is closed-form, accurate, and explicitly shows the influence of certain network parameters, it is the preferred method to perform sensitivity studies.
