Unreferenced date October 2009 A telecommunication circuit is any line, conductor, or other conduit by which information is Transmission telecommunications transmitted . A dedicated circuit , private circuit , or leased line is a line that is dedicated to only one use. Originally, this was analog signal analog , and was often used by radio station s as a studio transmitter link STL or remote pickup unit RPU for their sound reproduction audio , sometimes as a backup to other means. Later lines were digital , and used for private corporation corporate data network s. The opposite of a dedicated circuit is a switched circuit , which can be connected to different paths. A Plain old telephone service POTS or ISDN telephone line is a switched circuit, because it can connect to any other telephone number . On digital lines, a virtual circuit can be created to serve either purpose, while sharing a single physical circuit.

In telecommunication , a drift is a comparatively long term change in an attribute, value, or operational parameter of a system or equipment. The drift should be characterized, such as diurnal frequency drift and output level drift. Drift is usually undesirable and unidirectional, but may be bidirectional, cyclic, or of such long term duration and low excursion rate as to be negligible. ref http www.its.bldrdoc.gov fs 1037 fs 1037c.htm Federal Standard 1037C ref Drift is also common in pseudo synchronised streaming applications, such as low latency audio streaming over TCP IP . Normally both ends of a streaming connection would stay in sync with a master clock but TCP IP does not provide this master clock mechanism. Therefore applications running fixed clocks will drift apart over time and glitch es will occur. This is usually fixed by controlling jitter or drift, by slightly altering the clock speed at one end of the connection. Drift can be removed from signals by signal combination. This strategy is used in optical and electrical systems such as optical tweezers . ref http rsi.aip.org resource 1 rsinak v82 i11 p115103 s1?isAuthorized no Mashaghi et al.

The property that allows a transmission system or channel communications channel to accept, at its input, unmodified user information , and deliver corresponding user information at its output , unchanged in form or information content. The user information may be changed internally within the transmission system, but it is restored to its original form prior to the output without the involvement of the user.

Unreferenced date November 2010 In telecommunications , an optical buffer is a device that is capable of temporarily storing light. Just as in the case of a regular buffertelecommunicationbuffer , it is a storage medium that enables compensation for a difference in time of occurrence of events. More specifically, an optical buffer serves to store data that was transmitted optically i.e., in the form of light , without converting it to the electrical domain. Optical networks Today, computer networks consist of optical fiber links, interconnected by electrical nodes. The data transport in the backbone is done in the form of light, typically from LED or laser . DWDM technologies enable bitrates well beyond 1 Tbit s. However, at the nodes, this light has to be converted to the electronic domain, in order to switch all data to their separate destinations. Due to rapidly increasing channel capacities, the switching capacity is becoming the bottleneck of the system. Currently, research activities focus on optical switching technologies, that involve fewer or no conversions from the optical to the electronic domain. An important problem however, is the buffering. Contention resolution Whenever two or more data packets arrive at a network node at the same time and contend for the same output, external blocking occurs. All packets but one are perceived as superfluous, and have to be dealt with. Next to the obvious choice of dropping all excess packets, academic literature typically presents three solutions buffering, deflection routing or wavelength conversion. Optical buffering uses ... buffer is made of optical fibers, and is generally much larger than a RAM chip of comparable capacity. A single fiber can serve as a buffer.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A write buffer is a type of data buffer . In a CPU cache , a write buffer can be used to hold data being written back from the cache to Computer data storage Primary storage main memory . This is a variation of write through caching called buffered write through . Use of a write buffer in this manner frees the cache to service read requests while the write is taking place. It is especially useful for very slow main memory in that subsequent reads are able to proceed without waiting for long main memory latency. When the write buffer is full i.e. all buffer entries are occupied , subsequent writes still have to wait until some slots are freed. To further mitigate this stall, one optimization called write buffer merge is proposed. Write buffer merge combines writes that have consecutive destination addresses into one buffer entry. Otherwise, they would occupy separate entries which increases the chance of pipeline stall. Sometimes the terminology victim buffer is also called write buffer. Victim buffer is a buffer that stores dirty evicted lines in write back caches note that write through caches don t write the evicted cache lines back before they get written back to the higher level memory. Besides reducing pipeline stall by not waiting for dirty lines to write back as the original write buffer does, victim buffer also serves as a temporary backup storage when subsequent cache accesses exhibit locality , requesting those recently evicted lines, which are still in the victim buffer.
