  • 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
