Question. What is switching? Explain the different types of switching techniques.
Ans. Switching is a technique which is used in large networks. It is a hardware or software device which creates a connection between one or more computers.
Switching is basically of three types which are as follows
(i) Circuit Switching In this type of technique, an end-to-end path is created before sending the data (dedicated channel, i.e. Circuit). The data is transferred using physical connection which is set upto between sender and receiver.
(ii) Message Switching Message switching is based on the transfer of block of messages from sender to receiver. Firstly, the address of destination is attached in a message. When a sender has a block of data to be sent, it is stored in the first switching station and then forwarded later. Each block of message is received entirely, checked for errors and then retransmitted.
There is no need for physical connection between packet which has header that contains source and destination addresses information acknowledgement and error bits.
(iii) Packet Switching In packet-based networks, the message gets broken into small data packets. These packets are sent out from the computer and they travel around the network seeking out the most efficient route to travel as circuits become available.
Question. Explain how to apply roller bandage to a wound.
Ans. To apply a roller bandage to a wound, follow these steps:
