Abstract
This paper demonstrates that blocking due to finite buffering
capacity of the system workstations can be a destabilizing factor for
distributed scheduling policies applied in multiclass queueing networks,
in addition to the currently identified sources of instability. The
issue is important since, in practice, all systems modeled by such
networks operate under buffering capacity constraints
