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 ...

The 88P8344 packet-exchange management IC integrates switching, aggregation, and rate adaptation of four lower-rate SPI-3 interfaces to the higher-rate SPI-4 interface. The device uses a back-pressure ...

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, ...

Verizon Communications announced a deal with Nortel Networks on Tuesday, the latest carrier moving to add packet-switching technology to its voice network. Other carriers are also slowly moving toward ...

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 ...

NAPERVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coriant, a global supplier of SDN-enabled end-to-end packet optical networking solutions, today announced it has expanded its metro packet optical networking ...

Switching systems continue to be called on to deliver higher packet throughputs and higher quality-of-service levels. Switching circuits controlling the data flow must perform more and more packet ...
