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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: All-optical packet switching is a promising scheme to meet high-capacity data transmission and avoid the bottleneck of optical-electrical-optical conversion. However, optical buffers ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytic approximation is derived for the end-to-end delay-jitter incurred by a periodic traffic with constant packet size. It is assumed that the periodic traffic is ...

The internet could have been known as the catenet if an early web pioneer had got his way. In 1974, French engineer Louis Pouzin designed one of the first packet-switching technologies, which breaks ...
