Abstract A novel scalable Multiple-Plane and Multiple-Stage (MPMS) packet switching fabric is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the graphic model of the MPMS fabric is built. The neighbouring connectivity and reachability of MPMS are described. Vertexes are classified into balanced vertex and competitive vertex, and the non-blocking condition is proved, which may determine its switching performance. The MPMS fabric is proved to achieve a P times maximum port rate, a square of maximum port count, only linearly increasing structure complexity, and therefore it is much more scalable.
