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 ...

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 ...

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.

A family of timing-over-packet (ToP) devices are designed to transmit timing and synchronization over asynchronous packet switched networks. Deploying Zarlink Semiconductor's ZL30301 and ZL30302 ToP ...

Verizon Communications announced a deal with Nortel Networks on Tuesday, the latest carrier moving to add packet-switching technology to its voice network. Other carriers are also slowly moving toward ...

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, ...

You may recall that Ethernet networks are based on a protocol calledCarrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection, commonly knownas CSMA/CD. This means that data packets from the various ...

Verizon Communications this week announced plans to shift its nationwide telecommunications network to packet-switched technology as part of a plan to offer new voice-over-IP and multimedia services.

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 ...

These ToP (Timing-over-Packet) devices are specifically designed to transmit timing and synchronization over asynchronous packet switched networks. Deploying Zarlink’s revolutionary ZL 30301 and ...
