  2. Cut-through switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-through_switching

    A cut-through switch will forward corrupted frames, whereas a store and forward switch will drop them. [5] Fragment free is a variation on cut-through switching that partially addresses this problem by assuring that collision fragments are not forwarded. Fragment free will hold the frame until the first 64 bytes are read from the source to ...

  3. Duff's device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff's_device

    In the C programming language, Duff's device is a way of manually implementing loop unrolling by interleaving two syntactic constructs of C: the do-while loop and a switch statement. Its discovery is credited to Tom Duff in November 1983, when Duff was working for Lucasfilm and used it to speed up a real-time animation program.

  4. Nonblocking minimal spanning switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonblocking_minimal...

    A substitute for a 16x16 crossbar switch made from 12 4x4 crossbar switches. A nonblocking minimal spanning switch is a device that can connect N inputs to N outputs in any combination. The most familiar use of switches of this type is in a telephone exchange. The term "non-blocking" means that if it is not defective, it can always make the ...

  5. Head-of-line blocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-of-line_blocking

    A switch may be composed of buffered input ports, a switch fabric, and buffered output ports. If first-in first-out (FIFO) input buffers are used, only the oldest packet is available for forwarding. If the oldest packet cannot be transmitted due to its target output being busy, then more recent arrivals cannot be forwarded.

  6. Switching circuit theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switching_circuit_theory

    Switching circuit theory is the mathematical study of the properties of networks of idealized switches. Such networks may be strictly combinational logic, in which their output state is only a function of the present state of their inputs; or may also contain sequential elements, where the present state depends on the present state and past states; in that sense, sequential circuits are said ...

  7. Clos network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clos_network

    Hence each ingress switch can be paired off with an egress switch that carries the same call, via a one-to-one mapping. These r calls can be carried by one middle-stage switch. If this middle-stage switch is now removed from the Clos network, m is reduced by 1, and we are left with a smaller Clos network.

  8. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    A convolutional code that is terminated is also a 'block code' in that it encodes a block of input data, but the block size of a convolutional code is generally arbitrary, while block codes have a fixed size dictated by their algebraic characteristics. Types of termination for convolutional codes include "tail-biting" and "bit-flushing".

  9. Ciphertext stealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext_stealing

    C n = Head (E n−1, M). Select the first M bits of E n−1 to create C n. The final ciphertext block, C n, is composed of the leading M bits of the second-to-last ciphertext block. In all cases, the last two blocks are sent in a different order than the corresponding plaintext blocks. D n = P n || Tail (E n−1, B−M
