A newly proposed large-scale ATM switch called cross-path switch has been shown to be capable of handling unicast and multirate traffic efficiently. In this paper, we will study two replication approaches to enhance the switch to support multicast switching. The first approach replicates multicast cells at both input and output stages, while the second one replicates cells at the input stage only. A feasible configuration for each scheme is considered and the effect of multicast traffic on the switch performance in terms of throughput and cell loss probability is studied. We observed that, to achieve the same throughput and loss requirement, the second architecture may require fewer switching elements than the first one.
