A new proof of the stability of closed Jackson-type queueing networks (with general service-time distributions) is given and sufficient conditions are given for obtaining Cesaro, weak and total variation convergence of the continuous-time joint queue length and residual service-time process to a limiting distribution. The result weakens the sufficient conditions (for stability) of Borovkov (1986) by allowing more general service-time distributions.

We consider some single-server queues with general service disciplines, where the family of the queueing processes are parameterized by the service time distributions. Through the smoothed perturbation analysis (SPA) technique, we present under some mild conditions a unified approach to give the strongly consistent estimator for the gradient of the steady-state mean sojourn time with respect to the parameter of service time distributions, provided that it exists. Although the implementation of the SPA requires the additional sub-paths in general, the derived estimator is given as suitable for single-run computation. Simulation results are presented for queues with non-preemptive and preemptive-resume priority disciplines which demonstrate the performance of our estimators.

In a previous paper [2] the author has studied the single-server queue with non-homogeneous Poisson input and general service time, with particular emphasis on the case when the parameter of the Poisson input is of the form
