Abstract :
In the above-titled paper by Takine et al. (see ibid., vol.COM-36, no.10, p.1119-27, Oct. 1988) an exact analysis of a nonsymmetric polling system with single message buffers was reported. The commenters provide an alternate method for analyzing the exact mean waiting times of the individual stations in the same system by extending an exact analysis for the two-station case. Some corrections to the numerical results provided in the paper are made.<>
