Abstract :
This paper deals with switching networks for multichannel connections. The conditions under which the three-stage switching network is nonblocking for s-channel connections are given. Switching networks that are nonblocking in the strict sense as well as the switching networks nonblocking in the wide sense are considered. The conditions for two-sided and for one-sided switching networks are derived.<>
