The M/M/1 Queue

The M/M/1 queueing system is discussed. Key properties are stated, many with proofs. Steady state and transient probabilities are presented along with many other well-known properties. A variety of analytical techniques are used in the presentation. Graphs are used to illustrate several aspects of this system. Keywords: queueing; Poisson process; limiting probability; transient probability; PASTA; level crossing; laplace transform; busy period; birth and death process
