Abstract

This paper presents new relationships between the higher-order moments of the FIFO and LIFO disciplines. These relationships hold over a class of queueing models that includeM/G/1 queues with exceptional first service,M/G/1 queues with server vacations, andM/G/1 priority models. The results also generalize to a class of service disciplines that includes FIFO and LIFO as special cases.
