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 ...

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 ...

A network router plays a crucial role in how data packets travel to and from a computer to host across the Internet. Routers serve as the junction point between the computers in a network and an ...

Circuits as WAN connections battled successfully against packets for years because they guaranteed bandwidth, no matter what. If you bought a T-1 circuit, the service provider nailed up 1.5Mbps from ...

Data that are transmitted in packets, which is the architecture of the Internet. Increasingly, all data are packet data as the Internet protocol (IP) is used to transmit every kind of media, including ...

Shelton, Conn. – TranSwitch Corp. has tailored two broadband access devices for switching applications that need multiservice functionality, such as switching voice, cell and packet-based data traffic ...

The fundamental technology underpinning the internet is called packet-switching. And Donald Davies was the first one to call it that. In the mid-1960s, Davies was a researcher with Britain's National ...

The University of Central Florida‘s Center for Emerging Media is opening its fall exhibition season with an installation that visualizes architecture as fragments affected by economic and ...

An efficient means of routing and transferring data over a network by breaking it up into very small pieces (packets). Each packet is addressed to its destination, like pieces of mail in a postal ...
