Fast packet switching

Fast packet switching

In telecommunications, fast packet switching is a packet switching technique that increases the throughput by eliminating overhead. Overhead reduction is accomplished by allocating flow control and error correction functions to either the user applications or the network nodes that interface with the user. Cell relay and frame relay are two implementations of fast packet switching.
