In this paper, the architecture of a Parallel- plane Deflection-Routed Circular Banyan (PDCB) network based switching fabric is presented. The PDCB switch has a cyclic, regular, self-routing, simple architecture and fairly good performance. Its performance is improved due to reduction in blocking by twodimensional path-multiplicity of the proposed architecture. A simple analytical model based on Markov chain has been used to evaluate the performance of the switch under uniform traffic condition. Further, the fault-tolerance and reliability aspect has also been examined.
