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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Finchetto CEO exclusively talks to us about using light to cut network latency, reduce power use, and remove network ...

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 ...

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 ...

Roger Scantlebury demonstrates the "packet switching" system that underpins how data moves around the internet. He was a member of the National Physical Laboratory team that ran a computer network at ...

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 ...

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 ...
