• A theorem by John Little which states that the long-term average number L of customers in a stationary system is equal to the long-term average effective arrival rate λ multiplied by the average time W that a customer spends in the system: L = λ/W. The result applies to any system, and particularly, it applies to systems within systems. ← Wikipedia
