            Abstract : 
Distributional forms of Little´s law relate the steady-state distributions of the number of customers in a queueing system (system content) and the time a customer spends in the system (delay). A new law for discrete-time multiserver queues is discussed, with single-slot service times, a first-come-first-served discipline and heterogeneous server interruptions.
