Editing Queueing theory (section)

=== Mean-field limits ===

[[Mean-field model]]s consider the limiting behaviour of the [[empirical measure]] (proportion of queues in different states) as the number of queues ''m'' approaches infinity. The impact of other queues on any given queue in the network is approximated by a differential equation. The deterministic model converges to the same stationary distribution as the original model.<ref>{{Cite book | last1 = Bobbio | first1 = A. | last2 = Gribaudo | first2 = M. | last3 = Telek | first3 = M.
