Performance of Clos Multicast Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A three-stage circuit-switched Clos network, under various routing control strategies is considered for multicast operation. It was found that, under certain assumptions, this network become nonblocking as the number of middle switches increases. Also ,it was demonstrated that blocking probability can be reduced by certain modifications applied to its links. Key-Words: Multicast, simulation, blocking probability, switching Clos networks.

The Necessary Conditions for Clos-Type Nonblocking Multicast Networks
Efficient interconnection networks are critical to the performance of large communication systems and parallel and distributed computing systems with hundreds or thousands of communication components. The well-known Clos network or v(m;n; r) network can be extended to provide full one-to-many or multicast capability. In this paper, we consider several typical routing control strategies for Clos...
متن کاملRouting Multicast Streams in Clos Networks
Multicast routing in high speed networks is one of the key issues in the design and implementation of applications such as video conferencing. Traditionally, the problems are formalized as either the shortest path problem or Steiner tree problem where the objective function is either the shortest path or the minimum costs associated with the path. In this paper, we study an on-line multicast ro...
متن کاملMultirate Clos Networks
The Clos networks are a class of multistage switching network topologies that provide alternate paths between inputs and outputs, making it possible to minimize or eliminate the blocking that can otherwise occur in such networks. In his seminal paper in the Bell System Technical Journal in 1953, Charles Clos showed how these networks could be configured to make them nonblocking and effectively ...
متن کاملA Novel Multicast Tree Construction Algorithm for Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks
Many appealing multicast services such as on-demand TV, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. When multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. Designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...
متن کاملOn Multicast Rearrangeable 3-stage Clos Networks Without First-Stage Fan-Out
For the multicast rearrangeable 3-stage Clos networks where input crossbars do not have fan-out capability, Kirkpatrick, Klawe, and Pippenger gave a sufficient condition and also a necessary condition which differs from the sufficient condition by a factor of 2. In this paper, we first tighten their conditions. Then we propose a new necessary condition based on the affine plane such that the ne...
