From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   wormhole /werm'hohl/ n.   [from the `wormhole' singularities
   hypothesized in some versions of General Relativity theory] 1.
   [n.,obs.] A location in a monitor which contains the address of a
   routine, with the specific intent of making it easy to substitute a
   different routine.   This term is now obsolescent; modern operating
   systems use clusters of wormholes extensively (for modularization of
   I/O handling in particular, as in the Unix device-driver
   organization) but the preferred techspeak for these clusters is
   `device tables', `jump tables' or `capability tables'.   2. [Amateur
   Packet Radio] A network path using a commercial satellite link to
   join two or more amateur VHF networks.   So called because traffic
   routed through a wormhole leaves and re-enters the amateur network
   over great distances with usually little clue in the message routing
   header as to how it got from one relay to the other. Compare {gopher
   hole} (sense 2).

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   wormhole routing
  
      A property of a {message passing} system in which
      each part of a message is transmitted independently and one
      part can be forwarded to the next {node} before the whole
      message has been received.   All parts of a single message
      follow the same route.
  
      The independent parts are normally small, e.g. one 32-bit
      word.   This reduces the {latency} and the storage requirements
      on each node when compared with {message switching} where a
      node receives the whole message before it starts to forward it
      to the next node.   It is more complex than message switching
      because each node must keep track of the messages currently
      flowing through it.
  
      With {cut-through switching}, wormhole routing is applied to
      {packets} in a {packet switching} system so that forwarding of
      a packet starts as soon as its destination is known, before
      the whole packet had arrived.
