In packet switching architectures, multicast transmission to two or more ports is inherent to the forwarding mechanics of certain protocols while strictly operational necessities in others. For ...

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, ...

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 ...

A debate is currently raging around whether LTE can use packet switching to transmit voice. End user expectations cannot be ignored because, after more than 20 years of GSM, users have come to expect ...

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 ...

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 ...

If you connect many devices at the same time to one router, inadvertent simultaneous connections may exceed the limit. Since a similar situation occurred in the editorial department of GIGAZINE, it ...
