The long-run rate at which admitted customers complete service. In a stable queue without abandonment it equals the admitted arrival rate, which may be less than the offered rate because of blocking. Little's law uses this actual rate for the chosen subsystem. If customers leave without completing service, service completions alone cannot replace the admission rate when measuring the customer sojourn times of all admitted customers.
