The cascade CLOS broadcast switching network - a new atm switching network which is multiconnection non-blocking

摘要

We present a new multiconnection ATM switching network, called the Cascade Clos Broadcast Switching Network (CC8 SY). It has the following features. Firstly, the CCB-SM is son blocking for multiconnection. Therefore, deterioration of traffic handling performance due to anon-uniform traffic pattern does not occur. Secondly, In the CCB-SM, the cells are replicated after they are partly routed. And so, the delay time caused by the increment of replicas of cells is kept to a minimum.
