packet switching is a method of grouping data into short messages in fixed format, i.e. packets, that are transmitted over a digital network. Packets...

A packet-switching node is a node in a packet-switching network that contains data switches and equipment for controlling, formatting, transmitting, routing...

In telecommunications, fast packet switching is a variant of packet switching that increases the throughput by eliminating overhead associated with flow...

message blocks in the early 1960s, and Donald Davies conceived of packet switching in 1965 at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), proposing a national...

switching involves messages routed in their entirety, one hop at a time. It evolved from circuit switching and was the precursor of packet switching....

and computer networking, a network packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network. A packet consists of control information and...

Multi-layer switching combines layer-2, -3 and -4 switching technologies and provides high-speed scalability with low latency. Multi-layer switching can move...

(VC) is a means of transporting data over a data network, based on packet switching and in which a connection is first established across the network between...

the network. He incorporated Donald Davies' concepts and designs for packet switching, and sought input from Paul Baran on dynamic routing. In 1969, ARPA...

cut-through switching, also called cut-through forwarding is a method for packet switching systems, wherein the switch starts forwarding a frame (or packet) before...

on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that...
