The multiple finite-source model <strong>and</strong> the singel finite-source model may be<br />

associated with flow control <strong>and</strong> congestion avoidance mechanisms in<br />

computer communication networks. Namely, the multiple finite-source model<br />

in wich the population size is fixed for each class corresponds to the window<br />

flow control Let us first assume that each of N messages has different<br />

characteristics. In terms of machine interference problems, each machine is<br />

assumed to have a different breakdown rate <strong>and</strong> a different repair time<br />

ditribution. Specifically, let λi be the rate at wich message i in the source<br />

arrives at the service facility, <strong>and</strong> let Bi(x) be the distribution function (DF)<br />

for the service time of message i, where i = 1, 2, . . . , N. We also denote by bi<br />

<strong>and</strong> B ∗ i<br />

(s) the mean <strong>and</strong> Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST) of Bi(x),<br />

respectively. We call this system an individual message model. The total<br />

arrival rate when all messages are in the source is denoted by<br />

Λ =<br />

We denote by E[Ti] the mean response time of message i, <strong>and</strong> by γi the<br />
