An n*n (n inputs and outputs) multistage interconnection network is said to be rearrangeable if it can realise all the possible connections of the n input terminals to the n output terminals in a one-to-one fashion. Starting with the pioneering works of Clos (1953) and Benes (1968) to this date a variety of sufficient conditions for rearrangeability are known in the literature. It is shown that the well known sufficient condition due to Benes on the link permutation is also necessary for rearrangeability if the network is made up of 2*2 switches. 15 references.
