Abstract-- The problem of providing quality of service guarantees for multicast traffic over crossbar switches has received a limited attention, despite the popularity of its count...
— This paper investigates in detail the blocking and nonblocking behavior of multirate Clos switching networks at the connection/virtual connection level. The results are applica...
— This paper considers three-stage switching networks able to support multicast traffic, i.e. connections in which one inlet is connected to more than one output at the same tim...
High-speed photonic switching networks can switch optical signals at the rate of several terabits per second. However, they suffer from an intrinsic crosstalk problem when two opti...
Abstract--Based on the false assumption that multicast incapable (MI) nodes could not be traversed twice on the same wavelength, the light-tree structure was always thought to be o...
