Equivalence of the 1-Rate Model to the Classical Model on Strictly Nonblocking Switching Networks
W. R. Chen, F. K. Hwang, Xuding Zhu · SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics · 2004
In the 1-rate(f) network, each link can carry up to f messages for some integer f. The classical model is the special case when f=1. We show that a network is strictly nonblocking under the 1-rate(f) model if and only if it is strictly nonblocking under the classical model.
