Performance of CLOS multicast networks
Ghazi M. Al Sukkar, Jamil N. Ayoub · International Conference on Communications · 2006
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.
