Abstract

Shuffle Exchange Networks (SENs) are considered as an appropriate interconnection network because they consist of switching elements of small size and possess a straight forward and simple configuration. In this paper, we have proposed a method for analyzing reliability of 4×4 SEN, 4×4 SEN+1 and 4×4 SEN+2. The reliability has been obtained on the basis of three indices, namely, terminal reliability, broadcast reliability and network reliability by using universal generating function (UGF) method. This study also examines effect of adding the additional stages in 4×4 shuffle exchange networks (SENs).
