This paper obtains the stationary joint distribution of a customer's sojourn times along an overtake-free path in a closed multiclass Jackson network. The distribution has a simple representation in terms of the product form distribution for the state of the network at an arrival instant.

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the interaction between a service system and an external environment under which the stationary joint distribution of the set of busy channels and the state of the external environment is given by a product-form formula.

For functionals of multitype closed queueing networks, a conditional job-observer property is shown which provides more insight into the classical job-observer property. Applications and examples are given, including the classical job-observer property for the number of customers in a network, a representation of cycle time distributions and a basic formula for sojourn times.

We consider closed networks of interconnected service centers with multiple types of customers and multiple classes, whose stationary state probabilities at arbitrary times have a product form. A customer can change its class but not its type as it traverses the network. We show that the stationary state probabilities at instants at which customers of a particular type arrive at a particular service center and enter a particular class are equal to the stationary state probabilities at arbitrary times for the network with one less customer of that type. Applications of this result are given.

We consider a Jackson network in which some of the nodes have an infinite supply of work: when all the customers queued at such a node have departed, the node will process a customer from this supply. Such nodes will be processing jobs all the time, so they will be fully utilized and experience a traffic intensity of 1. We calculate flow rates for such networks, obtain conditions for stability, and investigate the stationary distributions. Standard nodes in this network continue to have product-form distributions, while nodes with an infinite supply of work have geometric marginal distributions and Poisson inflows and outflows, but their joint distribution is not of product form.

We consider multiclass closed queueing networks. For these networks, a lot of work has been devoted to characterizing and weakening the conditions under which a product-form solution is obtained for the steady-state distribution. From this work, it is known that, under certain conditions, all networks in which each of the stations has either the first-come first-served or the random service discipline lead to the same (product-form expressions for the) steady-state probabilities of the (aggregated) states that for each station and each job class denote the number of jobs in service and the number of jobs in the queue. As a consequence, all these situations also lead to the same throughputs for the different job classes. One of the conditions under which these equivalence results hold states that at each station all job classes must have the same exponential service time distribution. In this paper, it is shown that these equivalence results can be extended to the case with different exponential service times for jobs of different classes, if the network consists of only one single-server or multiserver station. This extension can be made despite of the fact that the network is not a product-form network anymore in that case. The proof is based on the reversibility of the Markov process that is obtained under the random service discipline. By means of a counterexample, it is shown that the extension cannot be made for closed network with two or more stations.
