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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
