By defining the concept of bottleneck structure, the process bottleneck is analyzed in the paper. The bottleneck structure is a kind of generalized network whose circle gain is 1. We call it a simple gain network. The equivalent simple network is defined for the simple gain network, by analyzing the bottleneck of which we complete the analysis of the generalized circulation problem.
