Closed Jackson Network
In some applications once a job leaves the network, a new job is immediately released into the network. This type of network can be viewed as having a fixed number of jobs in the network, with no job ever leaving the network and no external job entering the network. In this sense, the network is "closed". It is also referred to as Gordon–Newell network
In closed Jackson network, and are 0 for all i and j., and for each row. Let be the solution to
The solution is not unique so we need to add another equation. For example for some constant or for some .
The equilibrium balance equations are given by:
for all such that . Similarly, define and where and are defined before.

“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government.”

“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
