Abstract :
In this paper we study multiclass queueing networks with fluid arrival streams and service processes. Assuming that the arrival rate does not exceed the network capacity, we deduce stability of the network using the tools of ergodic theory. We show that the distributions of the process converge to a unique steady state value and that convergence takes place at a geometric rate under appropriate moment conditions
