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). | |

wormhole {back door} | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
wormhole routing 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.
