  1. Switch vs. Router • Switch: • Def. 1: A network node thatforwards packets from inputs to outputs based on header information in each packet. It differs from a router mainly in that it typically does not interconnect networks of different types. (Peterson) • Switch fabric: The component of a switch that directs packets from their inputs to the correct outputs. (Peterson) • Router: • Def. 1: A network node connected to two or more networks that forwards packets form on network to another. (Peterson) • Def. 2: An internetworking device that connects two computer networks. It makes use of an internet protocol and assumes that all of the attached devices on the networks use the same communications architecture and protocols. Arouter operates at OSI layer 3.

  3. Conventional Multiplexing Strategies • Frequency-Division Multiplexing (FDM) • With FDM, each channel continuously gets a fraction of the bandwidth • Synchronous Time-Division Multiplexing (STDM) • With TDM, each channel gets all of the bandwidth periodically during brief intervals of time.
