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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Paul Baran, whose Cold War era invention of packet switching technology helped to lay the foundation for the Internet, has died at the age of 84. Paul Baran, whose Cold War era invention of packet ...

Packet switching, in short, is a method to deliver data across a computer network connection. The impact of packet switching cannot be understated, as it essentially makes today’s Internet function.

Networks are starting to become a critical part of many industrial installations. Production equipment increasingly incorporates diagnostics that are available over an Ethernet, and ever more factory ...

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 ...

Optimized for a wide variety of WAN edge applications, the nP3404 is a highly integrated single-chip solution for multi-gigabit packet processing. The device combines the company's nPcore-based ...

Fragment-free switching is also known as runtless switching and is a hybrid of cut-through and store-and-forward switching. Fragment-free switching was developed to solve the late-collision problem. A ...
