The use of IP for audio and broadcast transport applications has gained increasing attention as the quality of service (QoS) of packet switched networks continually improves. The lure of reduced costs ...

Interconnect standards such as PCI Express, Hyper Transport and Rapid IO have several common features such as packet based transmission, flow control for buffer space management, data integrity checks ...

Last time, we delved into the reasons that packet loss has such an enormous impact on application performance over the WAN in the first place. This time we’ll begin to look at the ways that various ...

One of the essential requirements in 5G wireless systems is minimizing packet transmission latency for ultra-reliable and low latency (URLLC) services. One of the most prominent examples will be ...

Bandwidth represents the theoretical maximum capacity, while the data rate (or throughput) is the actual, real-world speed that is reduced by factors like latency, protocol overhead, network ...

We live in an era where all of us are very much dependent on the internet. Staying connected with the world is made simple thanks to the palm-sized devices called smartphones. High-speed internet ...

A debate is currently raging around whether LTE can use packet switching to transmit voice. End user expectations cannot be ignored because, after more than 20 years of GSM, users have come to expect ...

Advances in communication technology such as the internet are increasing the use of optical fiber and Internet Protocol (IP) lines for the transmission of materials used in live program production.
