Packet-switching networks -- networks which break data up into chunks called packets before transport -- help make your business communications stable and efficient. Once used only for data ...

You may recall that Ethernet networks are based on a protocol calledCarrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection, commonly knownas CSMA/CD. This means that data packets from the various ...

Despite the industry attention it has received, voice-over-IP (VoIP) is not the only way to send voice across a packet-switched network. In fact, it may not even be the best approach for some ...

Packet switching equipment is a comparably young market with merely 20 years of evolution. At the core of packet switching equipment lays the switch fabric; this single sub-system is probably the most ...

Networking is a new concept for many embedded engineers. The goal of this book, therefore, is to provide a bridge that spans from basic concepts to how to add networking functionality to an embedded ...

The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol enables precise time synchronization over the packet-based Ethernet network so that the time on a slave clock at one end of the network agrees with a master clock ...
