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...

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...

implementation of packet switching in the local-area NPL network in 1966-69 to demonstrate the technology. Many of the wide-area packet-switched networks built...

packet switching and the associated communication protocols on the local-area NPL network. By 1973, BPO-T engineers had developed a packet-switching communication...

including circuit switching networks and packet switched networks. In packet-switched networks, routing protocols direct packet forwarding through intermediate...

(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...

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...

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

were operating on the basis of circuit switching, alternatives to which are message switching or packet switching. Bob Taylor became the director of the...

Physical Laboratory (NPL) in London that pioneered the concept of packet switching. Based on designs conceived by Donald Davies in 1965, development work...

he applied queueing theory to model and measure the performance of packet switching networks and published several of the standard works on the subject...

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

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