found: ACM SIGCOMM Conference (1996 : Stanford University, Calif.). Applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communication, 1996:p. 185 (In wormhole routing, the unit of information transfer is a worm. A worm can range in length from a few bytes to several thousand bytes ... Each intermediate switch forwards the worm to the desired output port (if available) as soon as the head of the worm is received, without waiting for the entire worm to be assembled. Thus, the worm can stretch across several nodes and links at any one time. When the desired output port is not available, the worm is blocked and this information is propagated upstream using backpressure)
