The versatility of packet-switching networks gives them many cost benefits. They can be used to carry voice and video traffic across the same network that your data uses, meaning that you don't ...

In the last newsletter, we continued a discussion of discarding voice vs. data packets. This time we'll continue that discussion with a proposal for how data transmission could be greatly enhanced ...

Significantly, Named Data Networking (NDN) goes beyond the traditional paradigm and adds intelligence and state to each device. For this, it uses a new network forwarding plane.

The time it takes to transmit data on a packet-switched network. Each packet requires extra bytes of format information that is stored in the packet header, which, combined with the assembly and ...

RTT is the time taken for a data packet to get from one network destination to another. An alternative and less common phrase used to express latency is "time to first byte" (abbreviated to TTFB).
