Abstract :
The commenters identify and correct errors in some of the equations in the above-titled paper by Ferguson and Aminetzah (see ibid., vol.COM-33, p.223-31, Mar. 1985), particularly those related to gated service discipline. In addition, they compare equivalent gated and exhaustive systems (using the corrected equations) numerically in terms of the mean waiting time behaviors at the various nodes, and in terms of the overall mean and variance of the mean waiting times across the nodes.<>
