Now that network visionaries have been returned to Earth by the gravity of market realities, they're seeing that in order to not only survive but prosper, Internet Protocol (IP)-based private networks ...

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 ...

Advances in Applied Probability, Vol. 18, No. 2 (Jun., 1986), pp. 473-505 (33 pages) This paper is concerned with blocking and loss probabilities in circuit-switched networks. We show that when the ...

We develop a performance modeling methodology for product-form circuit-switched networks. These networks allow for: arbitrary topology and link capacities; Poisson and finite population arrivals; ...

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 ...

eSpeaks' Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Data Centre World — CALIENT Technologies, Inc., the global leader for Optical Circuit Switching technology, today announced the S160, a new smaller port-count version of its ...

If you thought that the digital TV transition, with its billion-dollar coupon program for converter boxes, was a migration nightmare, wait until it's time for the phone system to dump its legacy ...

Today, the FCC convenes the first meeting of its “Technology Transitions Policy Task Force,” a new intra-agency group announced in December by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. The bland name belies a ...

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 ...
