Line 4:

Datagrams are formatted according to schedules that depend on [[Quality of service]] and availability of switching nodes and physical links. Respect to [[Circuit switching]] the added time dimension introduces additional complexity to network management. Like [[Circuit switching]], TDS operates without buffers and header processing according to the [[pipeline forwarding]] principle; therefore an all optical implementation with [[Optical fibers]] and [[Optical Switches]] is possible with low cost. The TDS concept itself pervades and is applicable with advantage to existing data switching technologies, including [[Packet switching]], where packets, or sets of packets become the datagrams that are routed through the network.

TDS has been invented in 2002 by [https://web.archive.org/web/20110723202108/http://www.mariobaldi.net/ Prof. Mario Baldi] and prof. [[Yoram Ofek]] of [http://www.synchrodyne.com Synchrodyne Networks, Inc.] that is the assignee of [http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=0&f=S&l=50&TERM1=synchrodyne&FIELD1=ASNM&co1=AND&TERM2=&FIELD2=&d=PTXT several patents] issued by both the [[United States Patent and Trademark Office]] and the [[European Patent Office]].
