Queueing networks and Markov chains are widely used for conducting performance and reliability studies. In this paper we describe the queueing package, a free software package for queueing networks and Markov chain analysis for GNU Octave. The queueing package provides implementations of numerical algorithms for computing transient and steady-state performance measures of discrete and continuous Markov chains, and for steady-state analysis of single-station queueing systems and queueing networks. We illustrate the design principles of the queueing package, describe its most salient features and provide some usage examples.
