Switching technique
are used
for transmitting dat
a across from
sender to receiver
by fi nding out
the best path
in large
area network.
Types
There are 3 types of switching
techniques.
1. Circuit Switching
2. Message Switching
3. Packet Switching
Circuit Switching
A complete physical connection is established between
the sender and receiver.
The important property of this technique is a single
connection between two endpoints in the network.
Fixed route for conversation defi ned by the
circuit established to carry it.
A circuit switched network requires 3 phases for data
transmission:
1. Connection Establishment (setup phase)
2. Data Transfer Phase
3. Connection Disconnection (Tear Down
Phase)
Circuit
Switching
Ex: Telephone Network
Advantages:
Since the communication channel
is dedicated , data transmission
delay does not occurs.
Disadvantages:
Chance of delay during connection
establishment phase.
Low effi ciency
Message Switching
◦In Message switching there is no need of
establishing a Dedicated Path between the send
and the receiver.
◦It uses store and forward mechanism.
◦The message is transferred as a complete
unit and routed by the intermediate nodes at
which it is temporarily stored in buff er and
forwarded.
◦Each message is treated as
independent unit.
Message Switching
◦ Each and every node stores the
entire message and forwards to
the next mode.
◦ It is also said to be Stored and
Forward Network.
◦ The device should have Suffi cient
Storage Capacity to store
Packet Switching
Entire data is divided into packets and sent individually .
There is no resource allocation for this packet.
Packet switching is the transfer of small pieces of data
across various networks. These data chunks or
“packets” allow for faster, more efficient data transfer.
Each packet is given a number serial wise . Eg:1,2,3.
All these packets are then sent to the address of
destination computer.
