RSS switchingSwitching vs. Routing
White Paper The same old networking question is constantly being addressed as network managers assess the speed, simplicity and lower cost of Layer 2 switching (bridging) against the greater network control afforded by routing... [25 Feb 2004]
Why Do Denial of Service Attacks Reduce Future Visits?: Switching Costs Vs. Changing Preferences
White Paper Using a new method to identify switching costs, the paper shows that, for Yahoo and the other free websites, this impact is due to switching costs benefiting the website visited instead of the attacked... [22 Oct 2008]
Switching Versus Routing in Access Networks
White Paper Any discussion regarding the decision to use L2 switching versus L3 routing in the access network must be prefaced with the basic understanding of the uses and benefits of each technology. Traditionally, L2... [04 Aug 2008]
Switching and Traffic Grooming in WDM Networks
White Paper This paper considers the role of switching in minimizing the number of electronic ports (e.g. The paper characterizes a class of network architectures that use both the minimal amount ADMs and the minimal amount of... [11 Sep 2008]
Switching Cost Minimization in the IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX Sleep Mode Operation
White Paper Most of the existing works on the IEEE 802.16e sleep mode operation focus on the decision making before a mobile station switching to sleep mode state. Truly, frequent switching can increase the energy... [23 Apr 2009]
Multi-Protocol Label Switching and the nGenius Solution
White Paper Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is becoming mainstream as enterprises and government agencies look for new ways to lower costs, extend scalability, improve reliability, and secure their networked data. [04 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Power Considerations in a Complete 12 x 12 Optical Packet Switching Network
White Paper Optical Packet Switching (OPS) fabrics offer a potentially viable solution to this requirement, owing to the ability of fiber-optic components and systems to carry many terabits/second of encoded optical data while... [11 Sep 2008]
Sending FLASH Messages Quickly: Techniques for Low Latency Message Switching and Precedence Handling
White Paper In this paper we look at how messages can be handled to achieve message switching times of a few hundred milliseconds, for both low and high volumes of traffic. Military Messaging systems, and other messaging systems... [08 Jan 2008]
Implement QoS on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs
White Paper This sample chapter, taken from Selecting MPLS VPN Services, covers the requirements for supporting the converged world of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs and how this maps to QoS policy applicable in the... [19 May 2006]
Design and Implementation of GMPLS-Basd Optical Slot Switching Network With PLZT High-Speed Optical Switch
White Paper This paper proposes a new optical network architecture, called Optical Slot Switching (OSS), suitable for large data transmission where it uses PLZT optical switch controlled by GMPLS(Generalized Multi-Protocol Label... [11 Sep 2008]
Switching Essentials
White Paper Switching is an interesting topic. It could be an easy thing in your network, or it could be something that keeps you up nights. This white paper addresses the basics of Layer 2 technology and helps you get your switch... [03 Nov 2009]
Reducing Power Consumption: Improving the Heat and Power Efficiency of Switching and Telephony Equipment
White Paper This paper looks at technologies available today that achieve these important environmental and business goals by minimizing heat and power dissipation in Ethernet-based switching and telephony equipment. [02 Oct 2009]
Optical Burst Switching Network: A Multi-Layered Approach
White Paper This paper defines a new multi-layered architecture for supporting Optical Burst Switching (OBS) in an optical core network. The architecture takes into account both the control plane as well as the data plane. [11 Sep 2008]
Flow-Slice: A Novel Load-Balancing Scheme for Multi-Path Switching Systems
White Paper Multi-Path Switching Systems (MPS) are intensively used in the state-of-the-art core routers. One of the most intractable issues is how to load-balance traffic across its multiple paths while not disturbing the... [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Duopoly Competition With Switching Costs and Network Externalities
White Paper This paper analyzes competition in a two-period differentiated-products duopoly in the presence of both switching costs and network effects. Increases in marginal network benefits imply lower prices in both periods while... [11 Sep 2008]
