ForkNodeParam

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public class ForkNodeParam
extends NodeParam
                    
```
Parameter container for fork nodes in queueing networks.
This class configures fork nodes that split incoming jobs into multiple parallel tasks. Fork nodes are fundamental components in fork-join queueing models where jobs require parallel processing across multiple servers or subsystems before synchronization.
Fork node capabilities:
- Splitting jobs into parallel subtasks with configurable fan-out
- Supporting deterministic and probabilistic splitting
- Enabling parallel processing workflows
- Fork-join network modeling for multi-stage systems
