5.7 Summary

This chapter introduced some of the basic probability concepts that are useful for understanding and analyzing queuing network models. Many additional, more complex probability densities are known to be useful for representing certain types of real-world processes. These are beyond the scope of this book but may be found in many probability and statistics texts (see [2-6]). The densities presented in this book, however, are commonly used in queuing analysis due to their applicability to many arrival and service processes and because of their relative computational simplicity.
