We prove that a Markovian Open Queueing Network in which the service times are constant has lower average packet delay than the same network in which the service times are exponential (with the same mean). The proof is elementary, generalizing a similar result of Stamoulis and Tsitsiklis by removing the requirement that the network be layered.
