  2. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A modular network switch with three network modules (a total of 36 Ethernet ports) and one power supply A five-port layer-2 switch without management functionality. Modern commercial switches primarily use Ethernet interfaces. The core function of an Ethernet switch is to provide multiple ports of layer-2 bridging.

  3. Asynchronous Transfer Mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode

    IBM Turboways ATM 155 PCI network interface card. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a telecommunications standard defined by the American National Standards Institute and International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T, formerly CCITT) for digital transmission of multiple types of traffic.

  4. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    A simple definition of packet switching is: The routing and transferring of data by means of addressed packets so that a channel is occupied during the transmission of the packet only, and upon completion of the transmission the channel is made available for the transfer of other traffic. [5] [6]

  5. Network on a chip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_on_a_chip

    The network on chip is a router-based packet switching network between SoC modules. NoC technology applies the theory and methods of computer networking to on-chip communication and brings notable improvements over conventional bus and crossbar communication architectures.

  6. Multiprotocol Label Switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Label_Switching

    Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next based on labels rather than network addresses. [1] Whereas network addresses identify endpoints, the labels identify established paths between endpoints.

  7. Network architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_architecture

    Network architecture is the design of a computer network.It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as communication protocols used.

  8. Mesh networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking

    The network is typically quite reliable, as there is often more than one path between a source and a destination in the network. Although mostly used in wireless situations, this concept can also apply to wired networks and to software interaction. A mesh network whose nodes are all connected to each other is a fully connected network. Fully ...

  9. Software-defined networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_networking

    Software-defined networking (SDN) is an approach to network management that uses abstraction to enable dynamic and programmatically efficient network configuration to create grouping and segmentation while improving network performance and monitoring in a manner more akin to cloud computing than to traditional network management.
