Abstract
Several results are presented concerning mean busy periods and mean busy cycles for certain general classes of queuing systems with bulk arrivals. These results lead to methods of estimating mean busy period and cycle length from Monte Carlo simulations. Using data from simulations, we compare these estimation methods with a more straightforward technique: calculating the sample mean busy period and cycle over a sequence of simulated cycles.
