How packet switching transmits data over a computer network?
Show model answer
In packet switching, a message is broken into small units called packets before being sent; each packet is labelled with source/destination addresses and travels independently (possibly by different routes) through the network to the destination, where all the packets are reassembled in the correct order to recreate the original message. This makes efficient use of network links since they can be shared by many packets from different messages at once.
Write any two characteristics of data communication.
Show model answer
(1) It involves transfer of data between a sender and a receiver through a transmission medium. (2) Its quality depends on delivery (data reaching the correct destination), accuracy (data arriving unaltered/error-free) and timeliness (data arriving without unacceptable delay).
