The transient state of a queuing system is the state where the probability of the number of customers in the system depends upon time.
The steady state of a queuing system is the state where the probability of the number of customers in the system is independent of t.
Let Pn(t) indicate the probability of having n customers in the system at time t. Then if Pn(t) depends upon t, the queuing system is said to be in the transient state. After the queuing system has become operative for a considerable period of time, the probability Pn(t) may become independent of t. The probabilities are then known as steady state probabilities.
