Abstract :
This paper presents an efficient multicast copy network based on the fat-banyan network. The fat-banyan is a generalization of the dilated banyan architecture. A unique feature of the copy network is that it can handle overloads which occur when the sum of packet copies exceeds the switch size, N. The copy network achieves very low cell loss performance for high output offered loads
