Abstract
We consider the power-of-two policy with d = 2, Poisson job arrivals, heterogeneous servers and a general job requirement distribution. With the help of the first two light traffic derivatives for the average job response time, we point to interesting structural features associated with server heterogeneity in light traffic.

Light traffic behavior under the power-of-two load balancing strategy
We consider a multi-server queueing system under the power-of-two policy with Poisson job arrivals, heterogeneous servers and a general job requirement distribution; each server operates under the first-come first-serve policy and there are no buffer ...
The Power of Two Choices in Randomized Load Balancing
We consider the following natural model: Customers arrive as a Poisson stream of rate \lambda n, \lambda < 1, at a collection of n servers. Each customer chooses some constant d servers independently and uniformly at random from the n servers and waits ...
Light-Traffic Analysis for Queues with Spatially Distributed Arrivals
We consider the following continuous polling system: Customers arrive according to a homogeneous Poisson process or a more general stationary point process and wait on a circle in order to be served by a single server. The server is “greedy,” in the ...
