A simple technique could eliminate choke points on the the Internet. TCP switching, which
integrates circuit switching benefits in the packet-switched Internet, demonstrates the …

We study the performance of an Internet that uses circuit switching (CS) instead of, or in
addition to, packet switching (PS). On the face of it, this would seem a pointless exercise; the …

The motivation for this thesis is our desire to build faster routers and switches to
accommodate for Internet traffic growth. For the past few years, Internet traffic has been …

While it is technically pleasing to believe that IP will dominate all forms of communication,
our delight in its elegance is making us overlook its shortcomings. IP is an excellent means …

As packet switching speeds scale to Terabits-per second and beyond, power considerations
are increasingly forcing core router manufacturers to adopt all-optical and hybrid opto …

This article presents a new proposal for TCP-IP backbone implementation based on optical
packet switching technology. The proposed network architecture merges the flexibility in …

It is not uncommon to find people complaining about how slow the Internet is becoming now
that more people are using it, particularly to transmit large and complex files, such as …

In order to achieve ultra scalable IP packet switching it is essential to minimize" stopping" of
the serial bit streams. In our recent experimental work we demonstrated how this can be …
