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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The architecture, described as ‘packet-controlled circuit-switched double-layer network-on-chip’ provides 11Tbit/s/W communication with every core sending to its neighbour, and 435Gbit/s bandwidth.

Back in the 1999 heyday of prosperity in the communications segment, everyone from chip vendors to switch makers to service providers were talking up VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol). The ...
