Nonblocking Multirate Networks

Abstract
An extension of the classical theory of connection networks is defined andstudied. This extension models systems in which multiple connections of differingdata rates share the links within a network. We determine conditions under whichthe Clos and Cantor networks are strictly nonblocking for multirate traffic. We alsodetermine conditions under which the Benes network and variants of the Cantor andClos networks are rearrangeable. We find that strictly nonblocking operation can beobtained...
