For the M-M-1 queue with Bernoulli feedback, assume $0<\delta \le 1$. The number of service visits before departure is geometric on $1,2,\dots$, with probabilities $\delta (1-\delta {)}^{j-1}$, independent of the independent exponential visit lengths. The transform of the total time actually being served isThusThis excludes the waiting between visits. A feedback completion changes the customer's position but not the number in the system. By exponential memoryless property, the latter process has births of rate $\lambda$ and true deaths of rate $\delta \mu$ while nonempty; unsuccessful completions are self-events. It is therefore an M/M/1 number process with effective service rate $\delta \mu$, givingFor positive $\lambda$ equality is null recurrent, larger arrival rate is unstable, and $\delta =0$ admits no departure-based equilibrium.

To prove the output claim, state the relevant time reversal of a continuous-time Markov chain theorem: an equilibrium continuous-time chain satisfying detailed balance has the same reversed path law. In this reversible birth-death process, final departures are precisely downward jumps; time reversal turns them into upward jumps. Upward jumps are supplied by a state-independent Poisson clock of rate $\lambda$, so their process is Poisson. Hence the stationary final-departure process is Poisson of rate $\lambda$. This is the output conclusion of Burke theorem for the effective number process; it does not say the process of all service completions has that rate.
