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 ...

Packet switching equipment is a comparably young market with merely 20 years of evolution. At the core of packet switching equipment lays the switch fabric; this single sub-system is probably the most ...

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 ...

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 ...
