Everything about Jackson network

Mathematical discipline

In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a Jackson network is a class of queueing networks where the equilibrium distribution is particularly simple to compute as the network has a product-form solution. It was the first significant development in the theory of networks of queues, and generalising and applying the ideas of the theorem to search for similar product-form solutions in other networks has been the subject of much research, including ideas used in the development of the internet. The networks were first identified by James R. Jackson and his paper was reprinted in the journal Management Science's "Ten Most Influential Papers of Management Science's First Fifty Years".
