Abstract

In this paper, an upper bound is derived for the mean busy cycle duration in GI/G/1 queues. The bound is of the form A/(1 – ρ), where ρ is the traffic intensity and A involves three moments of the basic random variables of the queue. The proof uses a well-known result of random walk theory.
