Abstract

This chapter addresses the following questions about movements of units in stationary Jackson and Whittle processes. What flows of units between nodes are Poisson processes? When a unit moves from one node to another, what is the probability distribution of the locations of the other units in the network? What is the distribution of the time it takes for a typical unit to traverse a series of nodes?
