When creating a network with two nodes, and the second node has a batching distribution set to more than one customer, I would expect that the customers arrive in batches (at the same time) at the second node, but this seems not the case.
You are correct, and this is the expected behaviour. In Ciw, "batching" only applies to external arrivals. Arrivals from another node are not batched.
I am note sure immediately how to model the behaviour you want. It may be possible to use Ciw's custom node feature: https://ciw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Guides/behaviour.html to overwrite the node's release methods (line 394 in https://github.com/CiwPython/Ciw/blob/master/ciw/node.py), so that if there are less than three individuals reasy to be released it passes, but once there are 3 individuals waiting to be released then all three are released simultaneously.
thank you for your suggestion and sorry for the delayed answer. I have managed to obtain the behaviour described by inheriting from the custom node, as you said.
However, it came out a bit complicated and I had to modify quite a lot of methods: begin_service_if_possible_change_shift, begin_service_if_possible_accept, begin_service_if_possible_release, detatch_server. Not sure if I have made something wrong and if it could have been easier (probably!) but if you need some hints on how I did let me know. I think that for many real cases this can be a very nice add-on functionality.

That is, if I create a network like this:
I would expect that:
In reality I observe the following:
It this the expected behaviour?
If so, I can I simulate the behaviour I want?
Many thanks
