Abstract(in English) The packets versus circuits argument is several decades old. Back in the day, what we today refer to as all-IP networking was justified for its efficiency over the circuit-based telephone networks. The analysis was performed on ON-OFF sources for voice (phone calls) and packets came out to be almost twice as efficient. Modern traffic follows the hotspot distribution, where the hotspots -- also known as elephant flows, bulk transfer, etc. -- have higher value than other flows and therefore require higher efficiency. The highest possible efficiency for bulk transfer can be achieved using circuit switching, implemented on IP networks via the cut-through switching mode. This paper proposes a new switching logic which assumes that NOC has both packet and circuit lines and strives to optimize the newly defined efficiency accordingly.
