SwXtch Receives Patent On Layer
One Packet Switching
SwXtch, Inc. has been awarded a U.S. Patent Notice of Allowance for its
pioneering invention of "Layer 1 Packet Switching."
"This invention is a significant breakthrough because it finally solves the
'Real-Time Internet Problem,' which has plagued the `Net for years," said
Wayne Howe, President and Founder of SwXtch. "It guarantees full-motion full-
screen TV-quality video, voice, gaming, etc. in real-time over IP
networks."
"This capability was impossible before now, because today's IP [Internet
Protocol] networks can congest, delay, and even throw away packets. Layer 1
Packet Switching totally eliminates this congestion, delay, and loss by using
time reservations for the real-time packets. This guarantees that the real-
time packets cut through the network in the fastest possible time.
Real-time Layer 1 packets can cut through totally congested networks, data
storms, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) hacker attacks, etc.," said
Howe.
Non-real-time Layer 2 and Layer 3 packets (like e-mail) are stuffed in
between
the time scheduled real-time packets. So the entire system is extremely
efficient, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective. It achieves up to 10X
improvement in throughput and bandwidth utilization, while network efficiency
can increase to an astounding 80 to 90%! "It's an inflection point
technology," said Howe. "It greatly reduces network over-engineering, so it
can reduce costs of routers, switches, and even line bandwidth! "SwXtch
technology enables simple start-stop time-billing for premium services, while
today's IP networks must examine and record every single packet header for
billing purposes. The technology can increase security with real-time
guarantees on totally encrypted packets, including encrypted headers! It also
can enable pure-optical (O-O-O) packet switching for real- time packets based
on time scheduling! This reduces optical-to-electrical (O- E-O) conversion
costs. The benefits are phenomenal. They are unheard of in today's Layer 2/3
IP networks!" added Howe.
Layer 1 Packet Switching works in all data networks - WANs, MANs, LANs,
DSL,
cable modems, wireless, Storage Area Networks (SANs), real-time simulations,
chipset packet communications, multiprocessor intercommunications, and even
grid computing. It's also compatible with today's IP.
"Today's broadband equipment and services will become low-margin
commodities,"
said Howe. "Layer 1 Packet Switching offers aggressive equipment and service
providers the next big wave of high-profit, improved IP products and services.
This portends to be the `next big thing' - the beginning of Internet 3!"
"We are interested in discussing licensing opportunities with aggressive
partners, and have begun some initial discussions," said Howe. "Feel free to
call me."
SwXtch (pronounced Switch), is an R&D, patent licensing, and consulting
corporation in Columbus, Ohio.
