In the above mentioned case since mµ is the overall service rate:<br />

ρ = λ<br />

mµ<br />

, (4)<br />

<strong>and</strong> ρ can be used to formulate the condition for stationary behavior<br />

mentioned previously. The condition for stability is:<br />

ρ < 1 , (5)<br />

i.e., on average the number of jobs that arrive in a unit of time must be<br />

less than the number of jobs that can be processed.<br />

Throughput γ: The throughput of an elementary queueing system is defined<br />

as the mean number of jobs whose processing is completed in a single unit<br />

of time, i.e., the departure rate. Since the departure rate is equal to the<br />

arrival rate λ for a queueing system in statistical equilibrium, the throughput<br />

is given by:<br />

γ = m · ρ · µ (6)<br />
