1. A switching network, including:
a plurality of first switching assemblies;
a plurality of second switching assemblies;
a plurality of intermediate switching assemblies;
wherein, each of the first switching assemblies, intermediate switching assemblies and the second switching assemblies having at least two input ports and two output ports, selective one of the two input ports configured to receive a data to be processed by the switching network and deliver the received data at a designated one of the two output ports,
wherein, each of the first switching assemblies, intermediate switching assemblies, and the second switching assemblies having a forward element and a reverse element, the forward element permits flow of the received data in a forward direction and the reverse element permits flow of the received data in a reverse direction, and wherein,
the received data passes through one or more selective first switching assemblies, one or more intermediate switching assemblies and one or more selective second switching assemblies through a first pass and a second pass in the forward direction, and a third pass and a fourth pass in the reverse direction, before the received data is delivered at the designated one of the two output ports.
