This article explores the essentials of circuit and packet switching in data and computer communication networks. It elaborates on how long-distance transmission occurs over a network of interconnected nodes, which can include various end devices such as computers and terminals. The focus is on the principles of node-to-node data routing, the structure of switched networks, and the importance of reliability through redundant connections. By comparing circuit and packet switching technologies, this guide aims to clarify their roles in efficient data transmission.
E N D
1. Data and Computer Communications Circuit Switching
2. Switching Networks Long distance transmission is typically done over a network of switched nodes
Nodes not concerned with content of data
End devices are stations
Computer, terminal, phone, etc.
A collection of nodes and connections is a communications network
Data routed by being switched from node to node
3. Nodes Nodes may connect to other nodes only, or to stations and other nodes
Node to node links usually multiplexed
Network is usually partially connected
Some redundant connections are desirable for reliability
Two different switching technologies
Circuit switching
Packet switching
4. Simple Switched Network
