Definition

A class of open queueing networks with Poisson external arrivals, exponential service times at nodes, and fixed probabilistic routing between nodes such that, in steady state, the joint distribution of queue lengths factorizes into the product of individual node distributions (product‑form). Node arrival rates satisfy a system of linear traffic equations.
