Questions and Answers
Which type of network allows end nodes to send data to one or more end nodes?
Which type of network allows end nodes to send data to one or more end nodes?
- Switched networks (correct)
- Dedicated circuit networks
- Broadcast networks
- Communication networks
What is the main difference between circuit switching and packet switching?
What is the main difference between circuit switching and packet switching?
- Circuit switching establishes a common channel for end nodes to share, while packet switching establishes a pre-established path
- Circuit switching requires resources to be reserved during setup, while packet switching does not (correct)
- Circuit switching uses discrete portions of data, while packet switching uses a dedicated communication path
- Circuit switching is used in virtual circuit networks, while packet switching is used in datagram networks
What is the main characteristic of virtual circuit networks?
What is the main characteristic of virtual circuit networks?
- Each packet is switched independently
