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 ...

Industrial networks increasingly incorporate switching gear to avoid bottlenecks that can bog down critical operations. Networks are starting to become a critical part of many industrial installations ...

Despite the industry attention it has received, voice-over-IP (VoIP) is not the only way to send voice across a packet-switched network. In fact, it may not even be the best approach for some ...

Packet switching equipment is a comparably young market with merely 20 years of evolution. At the core of packet switching equipment lays the switch fabric; this single sub-system is probably the most ...

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 ...

The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol enables precise time synchronization over the packet-based Ethernet network so that the time on a slave clock at one end of the network agrees with a master clock ...
