Chapter Chapter 6 in Introduction to Queueing Systems with Telecommunication Applications, 2013, pp 191-197 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The theory of queueing systems dates back to the seminal work of A. K. Erlang (1878–1929), who worked for the telecom company in Copenhagen and studied telephone traffic in the early twentieth century. To this day the terminology of queueing theory is closely related to telecommunications (e.g., channel, call, idle/busy, queue length, utilization).
