Abstract
We consider the joint distribution of successive sojourn times of customers traversing a path in Jackson network. It is shown in a general setting tha t sojourn times exhibit positive dependence. This especially applies to pat hs which admit overtaking due to the network topology as well as due to the internal node structure.
