Abstract :
A new terabit level switching fabric: multi-ary hypercube switching fabric (MHSF) and the related Hamming random routing algorithm (HRRA) is proposed in this paper. Theoretical analysis shows that when each switching node evenly routes traffic to the other nodes, MHSF is stable if and only if the speedup factor of links between them is larger than M/k. In order to improve scalability for practical applications, this paper also proposes a small-granularity MHSF expansion method, keeping its stability characteristics.
