Abstract
This paper proves a heavy traffic limit theorem for a multiclass servi ce station with Markovian feedback. This result generalizes the one pr oved by Reiman (1988). Our approach also significantly simplifies Reim an's original proof. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate th e effectiveness of the QNET method which is rooted in the theorem.
