Abstract: The paper under discussion is a well-written exposition on the performance modeling of communication systems by discrete-time queueing systems, and their analysis. It basically consists of two parts: a review of the literature, focusing on the modelling of information streams and on scheduling disciplines (Sects. 2, 3), and a demonstration of some key methods for the analysis of discrete-time queueing systems, focusing on a particular two-class discrete-time queue with correlated arrivals and two priority classes (Sects. 4–6). In Sect. 1 of the present note, we make some introductory comments. In Sect. 2, realizing that the literature review in Bruneel et al. (TOP, 2014 ) is authoritative and extensive, we focus on a few adjacent topics which fall outside the scope of Bruneel et al. (TOP, 2014 ) but which in our view may also be of some interest. Finally, in Sect. 3, we discuss the analysis in Sects. 4–6 of Bruneel et al. (TOP, 2014 ). Copyright Sociedad de Estadística e Investigación Operativa 2014
