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 ...

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 ...

Enterprise network engineers upgrading their Ethernet backbones, and service provider network engineers deploying metro Ethernet and triple-play services, share a common challenge. When scaling packet ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Paul Baran, one of the inventors of the packet switching technology that underpins all internet traffic, has died aged 84. Baran passed away on Saturday at his home in Palo Alto, California, following ...

The PI7C9X3G1224GP PCIe 3.0 packet switch from Diodes accommodates 24 lanes of Gen3 SerDes in 3-port to 12-port configurations. For fan-out purposes, any port of the packet switch can be configured as ...
