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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Many of us don’t give much thought to just what is traversing the corporate network. That is largely a job for the company’s system administrator. The thing of it is, though, the sysadmin quite often ...

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 ...

When Lawrence Landweber created the Computer Science Network (CSNET), an intentionally open computer network that helped pave the way for the modern internet, he knew one day its technology would be ...

Photonics chip startup Finchetto is working on an optical packet switch which could help hyperscale networks scale into the AGI era. The design could potentially switch data up to 1000 times faster, ...
