Ak. Somani et Tm. Zhang, DIRSMIN - A FAULT-TOLERANT SWITCH FOR B-ISDN APPLICATIONS USING DILATED REDUCED-STAGE MIN, IEEE transactions on reliability, 47(1), 1998, pp. 19-29
We have developed & analyzed a dilated high-performance fault-tolerant
fast packet multistage interconnection network (MIN). This new switch
, (d, d')-DIRSMIN, uses dilation to improve performance and fault-tole
rance of a network. The links at the input & output stages of the dila
ted banyan-based MIN are rearranged to create multiple routes for each
source-destination pair in the network, after removing the first stag
e in the network. These multiple paths are link- and node-disjoint.
