It's the Kendall notation A/B/C/D/E
A interarrival time distribution
M: exponential
D: deterministic
E: Erlang K
G: General
B Servive time distribution
M: exponential
D: deterministic
E: Erlang K
G: General
C number of parallel servers
D system capacity
E queuing rules
FIFO
LIFO
SIRO (servive in random order)
PRI (priority)
GD 'general discipline)
M/G/1 stand for Exponential interaaival time/general servic time
distribution/ 1 server
Hope this help
