Abstract
The stationary probabilities for certain networks of queues as defined by Kelly [4] were recently shown by Barbour [1] to depend on the service-time distributions involved only through their means. This type of insensitivity has been studied by König and Jansen [5] for a general class of stochastic processes. Kelly's networks yield special cases of such processes. We point this out in the present paper, thus shedding new light on the insensitivity phenomenon observed in these networks and its connection with the phenomenon of local balance. As a consequence of our recent study [8] we also obtain a new insensitivity result for these networks.
