Topic: Packet-switched



  
 Packet switching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Packet switching is also called connectionless networking, because it is the opposite of circuit switched or connection-oriented networking, although technologies such as MPLS are beginning to blur the boundaries between the two.
In computer networking and telecommunications, packet switching is the now-dominant communications paradigm, in which packets (units of information carriage) are individually routed between nodes over data links which might be shared by many other nodes.
ATM is another hybrid technology, which uses cell relay instead of packet switching.

 Packets and Packet-Switching Networks (Linktionary term)
A packet-switched network is an interconnected set of networks that are joined by routers or switching routers.
A packet is a unit of data that is transmitted across a packet-switched network.
Packets have a header and a data area.

 Communication processor for a packet-switched network - Patent 4979100
In packet-switched networks, packets in the form of blocks of data are transmitted from a source--such as a user terminal, computer, application program within a computer, or other data handling or data communication device--to a destination, which may be simply another data handling or data communication device of the same character.
Packet switching arose, in part, to fulfill the need for low cost data communications in networks developed to allow access to host computers.
The switches used in the Telenet public network and various of its private networks are members of the multiprocessor TP4000 (sometimes referred to in abbreviated fashion as TP4) packet switch family.

A speech codec is dynamically-selected as a function of the QoS transmission characteristic of the packet- switched network.
For example, if a recent measure of packet delay is within a given range of an average packet delay statistic, the network is likely in a stable quiescent state and it is typically unnecessary to frequently determine the optimal codec.
Wireless telecommunications networks are an adjunct to the PSTN, and depend upon the circuit- switched network of the PSTN for communications with conventional wired telephony devices as well as with mobile devices.

 Network Core
Since the amount of header information would be approximately the same for a message or a packet, the amount of header overhead per byte of data is higher for packet switching than for message switching.
But while the first packet is being moved from the first switch to the second switch, the second packet is simultaneously moved from the source to the first switch.
With packet switching, if there are 35 users, the probability that there are 10 or more simultaneously active users is less than 0.0017.

 X.25 and X.121 address, packet switched network, Link Access Protocol Balanced
X.25 is used in a Packet Switched Network and in 1964 was designed by Paul Baran of the RAND Corporation for use with the Public Data Network (PDN) and unreliable analog telephone services.
During data transfer, the receiving device (which is the local switch) acknowledges the packet, not the ultimate destination, so that the sending device does not have to wait for the packet to travel the whole network before sending the next one.
Several network layer protocol addresses can be mapped to a single X.121 address as described in RFC 1356.

 Satisfying High Quality Requirements of Videoconferencing on a Packet-Switched Network
Since devices and network access delays depend in a non-linear manner on their utilization level, in order to fairly distribute loss and delays among devices and protocol entities, it is mandatory to maintain each device utilization level under its critical threshold.
Already known results can be exploited in order to optimize the network performances; e.g.
The results obtained from this point of view by RTP are very encouraging, as it is possible to deduce from figure 6, where a 20-second sequence of the network end to end delay is compared with the corresponding video frame end to end delay.

 NC Exchange - Articles X.25 Packet Switching Network
X.25 was developed in the ITU Study Group VII based upon a number of emerging data network projects, such as the research project at the UK's National Physical Laboratory under the direction of Donald Davies who developed the concepts of packet switched networks.
The general concept of X.25 was to create a universal and global packet-switched network on what was then the bit-error prone analog phone system.
A number of systems were developed to directly use the underlying packet nature of X.25, back when it appeared that X.25 would become the single universal networking system.

 Widely Used Packet Switched Data Network Protocols
The most widely used network access protocol which has been defined to interface a DTE to a packet switched data network is X.25 (however X.25 can be used on private networks as well, it isn't limited to PDNs).
The link layer has no knowledge of the logical channel to which a packet may belong.
In fact, X.25 is a set of three protocols used to define the connection between the DTE and the data network.

 End-to-End Scheduling in Real-Time Packet-Switched Networks
This paper presents the budgeted-weighted-round-robin (BWRR) algorithm for scheduling the transmission of hard-real-time messages in a packet-switched network.
The per switch delay and required buffer space provided by the BWRR algorithm are significantly less than those provided by previous methods.
In addition, with the BWRR algorithm, the necessary buffer space at each switch is predictable and can be fixed at system configuration time.

 Packet-Switched Networks
Instead of using a dedicated, direct connection between the source and the destination to move information, like a telephone call uses, a packet switched network moves chunks of information (packets) from one point in the network to another, allowing the communications channel to be shared among a number of users.
The Internet has popularized the idea of the packet switched network.
