Abstract : An $(n,p,n+f)$-network $G$ is a graph $(V,E)$ where the vertex set $V$ is partitioned into four subsets $\calP$, $\calI$, $\calO$ and $\calS$ called respectively the priorities, the ordinary inputs, the outputs and the switches, satisfying the following constraints: there are $p$ priorities, $n-p$ ordinary inputs and $n+f$ outputs; each priority, each ordinary input and each output is connected to exactly one switch; switches have degree at most 4. An $(n,p,n+f)$-network is a $(n,p,f)$-repartitor if for any disjoint subsets $\calF$ and $\calB$ of $\calO$ with $|\calF|=f$ and $|\calB|=p$, there exist in $G$, $n$ edge-disjoint paths, $p$ of them from $\calP$ to $\calB$ and the $n-p$ others joining $\calI$ to $\calO\setminus(\calB\cup\calF)$. The problem is to determine the minimum number $R(n,p,f)$ of switches of an $(n,p,f)$-repartitor and to construct a repartitor with the smallest number of switches. In this paper, we show how to build general repartitors from $(n,0,f)$-repartitors also called $(n,n+f)$-selectors. We then consrtuct selectors using more powerful networks called superselectors. An $(n,0,n)$-network is an $n$-superselector
