abstract = {The authors consider a multipriority queuing
system which involves several distributed local queues and a central server
which performs round-robin processor sharing (RRPS). This queuing model,
referred to as multiqueue processor sharing (MPS), is an extension of
Kleinrock's classical processor sharing model with generalization to multiple
priorities and the addition of a buffer at each traffic source for each priority
to buffer additional packets queued at that source. The authors present an exact
analysis of the MPS model which leads to a closed-form result for the mean
packet delay as a function of the packet length for each priority. It is
demonstrated by simulation that the result obtained is applicable for accurately
computing the average packet delay for a DQDB (distributed queue dual bus)
subnetwork, given that stations transmitting on the same bus are not widely
separated.}
