A network router plays a crucial role in how data packets travel to and from a computer to host across the Internet. Routers serve as the junction point between the computers in a network and an ...

Take advantage of TCP/IP options to optimize data transmission Your email has been sent By Alex Kuznetsov, Alex Plant, and Alexander Tormasov Last time, we explained how the TCP_CORK option can ...

In many novel networks-on-chips (NoC) the virtual channels mechanism is widely used [1,5]. It could be used for different goals from livelocks avoidance to different classes of traffic support ...

Single-wire data transmission is useful when operating a multitude of disperse components if high speed isn’t a requirement, but there’s a need for flexibility. The approach reduces the number of ...

Video and data is becoming the dominant traffic over the Internet. To provide better Quality of Service (QoS) to end users, it is important for network operators, content providers to optimize their ...

Packet switching is a network transmission method that sees data sent in small blocks called packets rather than as a continuous stream. Sending data in this way helps to improve the robustness and ...

The data transfer in a TCP/IP network is usually block-based. From a programmer’s point of view, sending data means issuing a series of “send data block” requests. On a system level, sending an ...
