These ToP (Timing-over-Packet) devices are specifically designed to transmit timing and synchronization over asynchronous packet switched networks. Deploying Zarlink’s revolutionary ZL 30301 and ...

As we mentioned last time, there was an entire industry built around using TDM bandwidth efficiently due to the compelling economics of building corporate private-line networks. By the late 1980s, ...

One of the design requirements for the networks that evolved into the Internet was the ability to keep functioning, even if some nodes or links were disabled or destroyed in war. The packet-switched ...

Verizon Communications this week announced plans to shift its nationwide telecommunications network to packet-switched technology as part of a plan to offer new voice-over-IP and multimedia services.

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 ...

Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) deployments to date have been focused on providing traffic engineering and network-based IP virtual private network (VPN) capabilities to IP core networks, and to ...

Everything you stream and share is broken into network packets. Learn how this enables the seamless flow of data that powers the internet. Network packets are small units of data that are sent from ...

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 ...
