To analyze the queue size in steady-state, we formulate both these problems as equivalent Jackson queueing network models. With this model, determining the probability distribution on the queue size at each node involves solving O(n^4) simultaneous linear equations. However, we eliminate the need to solve these simultaneous equations by deriving a very simple formula for the total arrival rates and for the expected queue sizes in the case of greedy routing.

This simple formula shows that in the case of the n x n array, the expected queue size at a node increases as the Euclidean distance of the node from the center of the array decreases. Furthermore, in the case of the n x n torus, the probability distribution on the queue size is identical for every node.

We also translate our results about queue sizes into results about the average packet delay.
