A discrete-time communication framework is studied under an approximate socalled "stop protocol" related to the lost-calls-held protocol. An explicit insensitive product form expression as recently obtained under a less realistic recirculated protocol is shown to remain valid. This extension seems of both practical and theoretical interest. Applications include: • Circuit switching structures •...

Circuit-switched Banyan interconnection networks can be built from simple switching elements that do not have logical processing or buffering capabilities. This paper describes a distributed technique for dynamic control of such a network, so that circuits can be established in response to the changing needs of a parallel application. Control information is interleaved with data, thus avoiding ...

The goal of this paper is to address why MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is necessary, limitations of ATM, how MPLS performs fast routing, the architecture of MPLS, the protocols used in MPLS, how MPLS will support multiple Quality of Services, the applications of MPLS.

The internal-switching induced simultaneous switching noise (SSN) is studied in the paper. Unlike ground bounce caused by driving off-chip loading, both power-rail and ground-rail wire/pin impedances are important in evaluating internal SSN, and the double negative feedback mechanism should be accounted for. Based on the lumped-model analysis and taking into account the parasitic effects and ve...

Highlighting the dominance & supremacy of CMOS digital logic design over its counterparts & further coming up with a unique solution to minimize the power losses prevalent in switching implementations using CMOS, this brief introduces a novel SDLC (Switching-DiodeInductor-Capacitor) design. It presentsa design which in ideal case may lead to a circuit capable of performing logic operations with...

At CRYPTO 2016, Couteau, Peters and Pointcheval introduced a new primitive called encryption switching protocols, allowing to switch ciphertexts between two encryption schemes. If such an ESP is built with two schemes that are respectively additively and multiplicatively homomorphic, it naturally gives rise to a secure 2-party computation protocol. It is thus perfectly suited for evaluating fun...

| Developments in telecommunications technology have outpaced progress in teletraac methods and practices. As a result, the planning and dimensioning of even the latest information-age services is, by default, commonly done on the basis of classical teletraac methods developed for circuit switched voice networks. In this paper, we will discuss recent traac measurement studies which have demonst...

There has been much discussion about the best way to combine the benefits of new optical circuit switching technology with the established packet switched Internet. In this paper, we explore how electronic and/or optical circuit switching might be introduced in an evolutionary

The application of photonic technologies to packet switching offers the potential of very large switch capacity in the terabit per second range. The merging of packet switching with photonic technologies opens up the possibility of packet switching in transparent photonic media, in which packets remain in optical form without undergoing optoelectronic conversion. This paper reviews recent work ...
