Abstract :
A general-purpose multistage architecture to simultaneously tackle component count and scalability is proposed. Manufacturing, maintenance, and reliability are also benefited by its modular structure. Crosspoints saving is analysed. A three-step switch upgrade under prioritised traffic is briefly discussed.
