Packet-switching networks -- networks which break data up into chunks called packets before transport -- help make your business communications stable and efficient. Once used only for data ...

As we mentioned last time, there was an entire industry built around using TDM bandwidth efficiently due to the compelling economics of building corporate private-line networks. By the late 1980s, ...

Packet switching, in short, is a method to deliver data across a computer network connection. The impact of packet switching cannot be understated, as it essentially makes today’s Internet function.

Packet switching is a network transmission method that sees data sent in small blocks called packets rather than as a continuous stream. Sending data in this way helps to improve the robustness and ...

A digital network technology that breaks up a message into smaller chunks (packets) for transmission. Unlike circuit switching in traditional telephone networks, which requires the establishment of a ...

Sprint is to change its entire circuit-switched telephone network to packet technology in an attempt to keep up with customer demand for capacity, it announced Tuesday. All eight million of Sprint’s ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: Hideyuki Tokuda, Ph.D.) has successfully demonstrated a world-record for switching capacity of 53.3 Tb/s for short ...

Everything you stream and share is broken into network packets. Learn how this enables the seamless flow of data that powers the internet. Network packets are small units of data that are sent from ...

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach. The advantages of moving data ...

Networking is a new concept for many embedded engineers. The goal of this book, therefore, is to provide a bridge that spans from basic concepts to how to add networking functionality to an embedded ...
