Quite a lot of efforts has been put on the research of the 3- stage Clos network. Unfortunately, very little is known for the multirate multicast Clos network which is the most complicated case. Firstly a sufficient condition for 1-rate multicast networks to be SNB is given, from which a result for 2-rate multicast networks to be WSNB can easily be gotten. Furthermore, by using a reservation-scheme routing, more specific result for 2-rate multicast networks to be WSNB can be obtained for the case of one of them exceeding 1/2.展开更多
