Difference between data gram switching and virtual circuit switching?
In data gram approach routing path is not fixed whereas in virtual circuit it is fixed. in data gram all packet don't follow the same path but in virtual circuit switching all packet move from the same path
What is the difference between b-isdn and n-isdn?
B-ISDN is a circuit switching process. The N-ISDN is a virtual switching process (packets). ISDN stands for Integrated Service Digital Network.

What is difference between circuit switching and packet switching network with table format?
Circuit switching networks create virtual circuits from point A to point B, then switch all packets for that communication along the same route. In packet switching networks, each packet is delivered individually on its own path according the current routing tables, which allows packets to be delivered when a router is down. The packet switch cannot ensure packet order, however.

What is the Difference between datagram and virtual circuit switching?
Virtual Circuit Packet Switching 1. Virtual circuits allow packets to contains circuit number instead of full destination address so less router memory and bandwidth require. Thus cost wise it is cheaper. 2. Virtual circuit requires a setup phase, which takes time and consume resources. 3. In virtual circuit, router just uses the circuit number to index into a table to find out where the packet goes. 4. Virtual circuit has some advantages in avoiding congestion within the subnet Because resources can be reserved in advance, when the connection is established. 5. Virtual circuit have some problem. It a router crashes and loses its memory, even it come back up a second later, all the virtual circuits passing through it will have to be aborted. 6. The loss fault on communication line vanishes the virtual circuits. 7. In virtual circuit a fixed path is used during transmission so traffic throughout the subnet can not balanced. It cause congestion problem. 8. A virtual circuit is a implementation of connection oriented service. Datagram Packet Switching 1. Datagram circuits allow packets to contains full address instead of circuit number so each packet has significant amount of overhead, and hence wasted band width. Thus it is costly. 2. Datagram circuit does not require setup phase , so no resources are consumed. 3. In datagram circuit, a more complicated procedure is required to determine where the packet goes. 4. In a datagram subnet, congestion avoidance is more difficult. 5. In datagram circuit if a router goes down only those user whose packets were queued up in the router at the time will suffer. 6. The loss or fault on communication line can be easily compensated in datagram circuits. 7. Datagram allow the router to balance the traffic throughout the subnet, since router can be changed halfway through a connection.
What is virtual switching?
The Virtual Switching is a technology allowing multiple switching functions to happen in one physical device or single functional switching to happen in multiple physical devices across network, while in the situation of a real switch, switching is conducted in one physical switch. Virtual switching technology enables a single switch to be used for many different applications. Each different function may have its own discrete performance and security controls. Using virtual switching technology, Service providers can create a dynamic service mix, as desired, without requiring new hardware and enabling the gradual evolution to include new services or a common control plane. Virtual switching is a core concept in the Multiservice network switching architecture.

What is circuit switching network?
In telecommunications, a circuit switching network is one that establishes a circuit (or channel) between nodes and terminals before the users may communicate, as if the nodes were physically connected with an electrical circuit. The bit delay is constant during a connection, as opposed to packet switching, where packet queues may cause varying packet transfer delay. Each circuit cannot be used by other callers until the circuit is released and a new connection is set up. Even if no actual communication is taking place in a dedicated circuit that channel remains unavailable to other users. Channels that are available for new calls to be set up are said to be idle. Virtual circuit switching is a packet switching technology that may emulate circuit switching, in the sense that the connection is established before any packets are transferred, and that packets are delivered in order. There is a common misunderstanding that circuit switching is used only for connecting voice circuits (analog or digital). The concept of a dedicated path persisting between two communicating parties or nodes can be extended to signal content other than voice. Its advantage is that it provides for non-stop transfer without requiring packets and without most of the overhead traffic usually needed, making maximal and optimal use of available bandwidth for that communication. The disadvantage of inflexibility tends to reserve it for specialized applications, particularly with the overwhelming proliferation of internet-related technology.
