Abstract: We studied the behaviour of an M^[X]/G(a, b)/1 queueing system with unreliable server, multiple vacation, overloading and stand-by server in this paper. The stand-by server is utilised only during main server's repair period. The probability generating function (PGF) of queue size and some important performance measures are derived. An extensive numerical result is illustrated.

Keywords: general bulk service; unreliable server; stand-by server; multiple vacation; overloading.
