Packet switching, in short, is a method to deliver data across a computer network connection. The impact of packet switching cannot be understated, as it essentially makes today’s Internet function.

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 ...

Researchers from Vienna University of Technology have proposed and simulated a method for all-optical address recognition that uses the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based Mach-Zehnder ...

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 ...
