circuit and packet switching Explanation: ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2004-09-02 17:22:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/O2_technologies/UMTS/U... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2004-09-02 17:25:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=55482.55525 The large capacity of optical fibers suggests that circuit-switching may become a more attractive switching method in future communication networks. We show, however, that under some reasonable assumptions the delays associated with circuit-switching make the technique inferior to packet-switching in a high-performance, distributed environment. A network design that demonstrates the feasibility of packet-switching in high-performance environment is also presented. This work was sponsored in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under contract N00039-86-K-0431, by the Digital Equipment Corporation, by ATT Information Systems and by Bell Northern Research. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 57 mins (2004-09-02 17:26:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.progstrat.com/techforum/trends1.htm The ICP market mandates that next-generation switching equipment be able to handle both circuit and packet switching. |
