CompactPCI without PCI: Heresy or High Availability?
At its most reliable, a packet-switched telephone system can provide far more than a traditional circuit-switched network in terms of functionality and flexibility. However, while packet-switched telephony can more than match the circuit-based network in terms of functionality and flexibility, it has not yet achieved the level of reliability enjoyed by copper wire. Hence the issue of High Availability, where a platform must, in effect,...
