In packet switching architectures, multicast transmission to two or more ports is inherent to the forwarding mechanics of certain protocols while strictly operational necessities in others. For ...

To design communications systems, an engineer may have to juggle several protocols running across a backplane. There are several common strategies to handling the interface for those protocols.

Network protocols are formal standards and policies consisting of rules, procedures, and formats that define how data is exchanged over networks. They ensure that devices can communicate effectively, ...

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 ...

The aim of this module is to give an understanding of the functionality of packet switching protocols at different layers of a wireless system and to appreciate how these protocols achieve reliable ...

A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote ...

Switching systems continue to be called on to deliver higher packet throughputs and higher quality-of-service levels. Switching circuits controlling the data flow must perform more and more packet ...

Parallel Data transfer using digital hardware involves a significant amount of switching power consumption, which increases as “data activity” increases. Here, we propose an algorithm which optimally ...
