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 ...

Abstract: This paper presents a network router and transceiver for wearable, low-power, high-speed Body Area Networks (BAN) applications running in a mesh network of sensors embedded in textiles and ...

Abstract: Efforts of realizing all optical packet switching have been overwhelming in the past decade. While optical packet switching remains an attractive switching paradigm in the long run, ...

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 ...

An old method of transmitting information (voice or data) through a system or network by establishing a persistent, dedicated connection ("circuit"). This connection consumes resources even when no ...
