Abstract :
The author gave a survey on multicast nonblocking multistage interconnection networks in his 1998 book. Here he focuses on the three-stage Clos network and its recursive extensions. Not only does this article bring the literature up to date, but it also provides some fresh viewpoints to either clarify or simplify some issues.
