- Explain why connectivity is a major network requirement and explain how is it possible for different hosts to be sharing the same link ?
Because a network must provide connectivity a set of computer.
More than 2 nodes may share a single physical link a (multiple access).
- Explain why is meant by a switched network, and write about: packet -switched vs circuit -switched ?
Switched network : data received on one link is for worded on the other one .
*Packet-switched :
- The important feature of packet-switched networks is that the nodes in such a network send discrete blocks of data to each other.
- These blocks of data as corresponding to some piece of application data such as a file, a piece of email, or an image.
- We call each block of data either a packet or a message.
- Packet-switched networks typically use a strategy called (store-and-forward).
*Circuit-switched :
- Establishes a dedicated circuit across a sequence of links and then allows the source node to send a stream of bits across this circuit to a destination node.
- The major reason for using packet switching rather than circuit switcging in a computer network is etficiency.
- What are the two key challenges of statistical multiplexing ?
- Like STDM in that the physical link is shared over time.
- Unlike STDM, data is transmitted from each flow on demand rather that during a predetermined time slot.
