Abstract
A three stage packet switch architecture that uses a two stage, self-routing memoryless interconnection network to interconnect a third stage of smaller packet switches has been proposed by K. Y. Eng et al. (1988) and M. J. Karol and Chih-Lin I. (1989). The authors propose a new routing algorithm for this architecture that facilitates the multicasting of packets. Packets are duplicated as near to the switch's outputs as possible. The authors also analyze the switch's multicast performance, finding an overbound on the packet loss probability. The resulting overbound shows that a small increase in the expansion factor is sufficient to maintain a multicast packet loss probability that is equivalent to that obtained in the non-multicast case.Keywords
