Abstract

We discuss here an extension of a queueing model studied by Neuts and also by Çinlar. We obtain a matrix form of Takács' equations and exhibit the equilibrium conditions. We also show that the conditions imposed by Neuts and by Çinlar in order to obtain their results concerning the busy period are not necessary.
