The Birkhoff-von Neumann (BVN) strategy for single-stage input-queued crossbar switches does not support multicast, as it considers only permutation-based switch configurations. This paper extends the BVN strategy to multicast switching, where an input can simultaneously transmit to multiple outputs. Knowledge of the average rates of flows is used to compute an offline schedule. We begin by considering a system in which the fanout of each flow is split in a predecided manner. We call this… CONTINUE READING
