______________ are distinct from physical communication systems.
networks
What are the two broad categories of networks?
Circuit Switched and Packet Switched
Circuit Switched Networks have 3 properties. What are they?
Provide point-to-point communication; a dedicated path between sender and receiver➢Separate steps: circuit creation, use, and termination➢Performance equivalent to an isolated physical path
Circuit can be➢Permanent/provisioned (left in place for __________ periods)➢Switched (created on _____________)
long, demand
________________ _________________ is when multiple sources compete for the use of shared media
packet switching
With Packet switched networks all data is divided into _______________.
packets
Packet-switched networks have _____________ communication over shared media➢After sending one packet, the sender allows others a chance to transmit before sending a second packet
multiplex
Properties of Packet-switched networks ➢Arbitrary, ____________________ communication
➢No set-up required before communication begins Underlying infrastructure is shared among users
asynchronous
What potential problem do you see from a Circuit Switching network with dedicated lines?
Because this tech requires a dedicated, exclusive connection - this means if you have 1 million senders and receivers you need 1 million dedicated lines (at least)
