Abstract
Perturbation analysis of multiclass queuing networks is considered. It is shown that first-order analysis is needed. Detailed discussions of an example system reveal the main features of multiclass queuing networks. An algorithm based on first-order analysis is proposed. This algorithm yields an asymptotically unbiased estimate of the sensitivity for the example system based on only one sample path. The accuracy of first-order perturbation analysis for general queuing networks is discussed.
