Unlike circuit switching in traditional telephone networks, which requires the establishment of a dedicated point-to-point connection, each packet in a packet-switched network contains a ...

Packet switching chips are communication integrated circuits (ICs) used in packet-switched networks to rout packets between network nodes. They are designed for local area networks (LAN), wide area ...

Here, we are interested in networks where the packet-switching functions are performed optically. The goal of PPS networks is to provide the same services that electronic packet-switched networks ...
