This paper proposes a new rearrangeable algorithm in a multistage reverse shuffle/exchange network. Currently, the best upper bound for the rearrangeability of a shuffle/exchange network in nonsymmetric networks is 3logN-3 stages. We describe the rearrangeability of reverse shuffle/exchange multistage interconnection network on every arbitrary permutation with N{le}16. It can be established by setting two more stages in the middle stage of the network to allow the reduced network to be topological equivalent to a class of rearrangeable networks. The results enable us to establish an upper bound, 2logN+1 stages for reverse shuffle/exchange network with N{le}16, and leads to the possibility of this bound when N>16.
