Summary

A certain single server queueing system with negative exponential service with mean rate nμ, when the system contains n customers, and Poisson arrivals, is formally equivalent to the infinite capacity system M/M/∞. This equivalence is exploited to yield in a very simple manner results for the single server system which were previously obtained by difficult analysis (see Hadidi (1969)).
