Each user alternates between "thinking" intervals whose durations are independent exponentially distributed with parameter Y, and an "active" mode that starts by submitting a service re- quest. The server can only serve one request at a time, and will serve a request completely before serving other requests. The service times of different requests are independent exponentially distributed random variables with parameter μ, and also independent of the thinking times of the users.
