A Study on the Splitting Strategy of Server Resources

Abstract: The paper is based on Noar's model of charged queues. We extend this model into multi-server systems with information about length and service rate disclosed for all the customers, and the customers can choose the optimal options. We discuss whether the splitting strategy of the server resource could bring more revenue for the service provider. We prove that any G/D/1 server supplier cannot earn more revenue by splitting his resource under the equal-toll limitations.
