Talk:Jackson's theorem (queueing theory)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When I was studying Queuing Theory, almost 20 years ago, I remember my professor saying something about this theorem having a relationship to the flow of water through pipes. Does it have any roots in civil engineering or was that just an analogy for our tiny, student brains?

Also, I think Wolfram provides a good reference for a form a Jackson's Theorem which I think Wikipedia refers to as Jackson's Inequality (but I'm haven't taken the time to see what relationship exists, if any):
Weisstein, Eric W. "Jackson's Theorem." From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/JacksonsTheorem.html

It probably should be investigated.
