Abstract :
This paper studies the nonblocking switching operation of generalised 3-stage Clos (1953) switching networks in the multirate environment. The analysis presented in this paper determines the number of the second stage switches required for strictly nonblocking operation of such networks in the continuous bandwidth case. The results given are in some cases generalisation of known results, but they also include new results
