Abstract

It is demonstrated that in the information theoretic analysis of queueing systems, exponential service turns out to play the same role that the Gaussian noise plays in additive noise channels. This exponential service is seen to result to closed-form results and it is also the service distribution with the lowest capacity for a fixed service rate. This is the first time that the ·/M/1 queue is shown to be the worst among all ·/G/1 queues according to any criterion.
