CAPITOL WOMEN AND MEN IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS PRESENTS "THE PACKET SWITCHING MYSTERY!" Featuring our special guest speaker DR. PAUL NEMIROVSKY Director of Engineering Sprint International While packet switching has been around for a while, many in our industry are still confused about what it is, why it is used, how it is used and how it has evolved. Our distinguished speaker will unravel the packet switching mystery with a tutorial on packet switching technology and applications. Dr. Nemirovsky, Director of Engineering at Sprint International, is a recognized expert in packet switching networks. He'll begin by covering basic concepts such as packets, PADs and X.25, and finish by covering more complex topics as fast-packet and frame relay. As always, a question and answer period will follow. Join us for this informative meeting as we solve the packet switching mystery!
