Number of departures in queues as an integral

44 Views Asked by At

In a queue with unit mean Poisson service times the number of departures are given by $$D(t)=\int_0^t \mathcal N(ds)$$

where $\mathcal N$ is the unit mean Poisson process. How should I think of this integral? Should I think of it as an integral with respect to a point measure where there is a point of unit mass whenever there is a service completion?
