Abstract :
The sufficient and necessary conditions under which a three-stage Clos network is rearrangeable for multicast connections are given. It is assumed that only switches of the middle stage have the fan-out property. Such an assumption is valid for some practical switching systems, e.g., high-speed crossconnects.
