This paper analyzes a single server model with two queues. The server serves customers in one queue according to an exhaustive discipline and serves the other queue according to a limited discipline. The paper studies the embedded Markov chain at departure epochs and obtain the transforms of the queue length and sojourn time distributions. It also presents a light traffic analysis and a heavy traffic limit analysis for this model. The paper shows that when the system approaches saturation, the two queues become independent.
