Abstract
We propose a new self-routing switch network, the fast rearrangeable n onblocking (FAN) switch, and its control algorithm. The FAN switch is a rearrangeable switch network and is applicable to asynchronous trans fer mode (ATM) switching because rearranging and routing are performed by hardware on the same time. The FAN switch has a modular structure that is constructed by connecting 4 x 4 elementary switches that consi sts of 2 x 4, 2 x 2, and 4 x 2 elements. We prove that the FAN switch with its characteristic control algorithm is a nonblocking network and compare it to other self-routing switch networks.
