ABSTRACT
The asymptotic behaviour of a closed BCMP network, with $n$ queues and $m_n$ clients, is analyzed when $n$ and $m_n$ become simultaneously large. Our method relies on Berry-Esseen type approximations coming in the Central Limit Theorem. We construct critical sequences $m^{0}_n$, which are necessary and sufficient to distinguish between saturated and non-saturated regimes for the network. Several applications of these results are presented. It is shown that some queues can act as bottlenecks, limiting thus the global efficiency of the system.
