Before revision:  A modularized program for treating general service time distributions was introduced in Bramson et al. 4 . The program relies on an ansatz that asserts, in equilibrium, any fixed number of queues become independent of one another as N goes to infinity. This ansatz was demonstrated in several settings in Bramson et al. 5 , including for networks where the service discipline is FIFO and the service time distribution has a decreasing hazard rate.
