Packet Switching Flux Artworks

This document outlines the fundamentals of switching in telecommunications. Switching is defined as the process of establishing a pathway between sender and receiver via transmission nodes. It plays a key role in efficiently delivering signals and relieving network congestion. The text primarily discusses circuit switching, highlighting its dedicated and temporary nature, use of fixed bandwidth, and its operational stages: request, establishment, transfer of information, and connection release. It also contrasts circuit switching with packet switching, emphasizing advantages and disadvantages. The example given is the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
