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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Verizon Communications this week announced plans to shift its nationwide telecommunications network to packet-switched technology as part of a plan to offer new voice-over-IP and multimedia services.

This paper presents a Network-on-Chip architecture based on a store-and-forward switching mode suitable for System on Chip interconnection. The network includes routers which dispatch messages, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
