Stability conditions for multiclass uid queueing networks

چکیده
We introduce a new method to investigate stability of work-conserving policies in multiclass queueing networks. The method decomposes feasible trajectories and uses linear programming to test stability. We show that this linear program is a necessary and suucient condition for the stability of all work-conserving policies for multiclass uid queueing networks with two stations. Furthermore, we nd new suucient conditions for the stability of multiclass queueing networks involving any number of stations and conjecture that these conditions are also necessary. Previous research had identiied suucient conditions through the use of a particular class (monotone piecewise linear convex) Lyapunov functions. Using linear programming duality, we show that for two-station systems the Lyapunov function approach is equivalent to ours and therefore characterizes stability exactly.

FLUID APPROXIMATIONS AND STABILITY OF MULTICLASS QUEUEING NETWORKS: WORK-CONSERVING DISCIPLINES Running Head: Multiclass Queueing Networks
This paper studies the uid approximation (also known as the functional strong law-of-large-numbers) and the stability (positive Harris recurrent) for a multiclass queueing network. Both of these are related to the stabilities of a linear uid model, constructed from the rst-order parameters (i.e., long-run average arrivals, services and routings) of the queueing network. It is proved that the ui...
متن کاملStability of Multiclass Queueing Networks Under FIFO Service Discipline
In this paper, we rst formally identify a FIFO uid network that corresponds to the queueing network under a rst-in rst-out (FIFO) service discipline, thus complementing the result of Dai (1995a) for the use of the uid model for the stability of a multiclass queueing network under a FIFO service discipline. Then we establish two suucient conditions for the stability of a multiclass FIFO queueing...
متن کاملThe Stability of Two-Station Multitype Fluid Networks
This paper studies the uid models of two-station multiclass queueing networks with deterministic routing. A uid model is globally stable if the uid network eventually empties under each nonidling dispatch policy. We explicitly characterize the global stability region in terms of the arrival and service rates. We show that the global stability region is de+ned by the nominal workload conditions ...
متن کاملOn Positive Harris Recurrence of Multiclass Queueing Networks: a Uniied Approach via Fluid Limit Models
It is now known that the usual traac condition (the nominal load being less than one at each station) is not suucient for stability for a multiclass open queueing network. Although there has been some progress in establishing the stability conditions for a multiclass network, there is no uniied approach to this problem. In this paper, we prove that a queueing network is positive Harris recurren...
متن کاملStability of Multiclass Queueing Networks Under Priority Service Disciplines
In this paper, we establish a suucient condition for the stability of a multiclass uid network and queueing network under priority service disciplines. The suucient condition is based on the existence of a linear Lyapunov function, and it is stated in terms of the feasibility of a set of inequalities that are deened by network parameters. In all the networks we have tested, this suucient condit...
