  2. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    Donald Davies' work on data communications and computer network design became well known in the United States, Europe and Japan and was the "cornerstone" that inspired numerous packet switching networks in the decade following.

  3. Circuit switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_switching

    Both of these methods can make better use of available network bandwidth between multiple communication sessions under typical conditions in data communication networks. Message switching routes messages in their entirety, one hop at a time, that is, store and forward of the entire message. Packet switching divides the data to be transmitted ...

  4. Multilayer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilayer_switch

    Switching technologies are crucial to network design, as they allow traffic to be sent only where it is needed in most cases, using fast, hardware-based methods. Switching uses different kinds of network switches. A standard switch is known as a layer-2 switch and is commonly found in nearly any LAN.

  5. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, Ethernet switch, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge [1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device.

  6. Cut-through switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-through_switching

    In computer networking, cut-through switching, also called cut-through forwarding [1] is a method for packet switching systems, wherein the switch starts forwarding a frame (or packet) before the whole frame has been received, normally as soon as the destination address and outgoing interface is determined.

  7. Switched communication network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_communication_network

    In computer networking and telecommunications, a switched communication network is a communication network which uses switching for connection of two non-adjacent nodes. Switched communication networks are divided into circuit switched networks, message switched networks, and packet switched networks.

  9. 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 ...
