What are the differences between the cell switching and message switching?

Cell switched services can provide the same features that dedicated circuits offer. their advantage over dedicated circuits is that a single device can connect to multiple devices on the same interface. The downside of these services is that they are not available at all locations, they are difficult to setup and troubleshoot, and the equipment is expensive.


Types of network switching?

there are three types of switching techniques 1) circuit switcching 2) Packet switching 3)Message switching


Advantages of message switching?

This helps to get a message to people quicker. The message would come in all at once and not be broken up.


What is Difference between message switching network and circuit switching network?

A circuit switching network physically changes the connection before it sends a message. This would be like the old pulse phone relay system. When you spun the dial on your phone for each number, there would be a switch that would physically move at the other end of the line. Each number switched you to a different set of switches which would in turn combine to make a physical route to your destination. A message switching network is what modern phone systems and computers use to communicate. Most computers use a "Store and Forward" type of switching. Once a network switch receives a message, it stores the entire message in memory, then sends it towards its destination. With message switching, there is no physical switching of the wires. All wires are connected to a processor which determines how to handle the message. For a good explanation of message switching and how packets work on the internet, watch the free movie "Warriors of the Net" from the website below. http://www.warriorsofthe.net/movie.html


What is the essential difference between massage switching and packet switching?

message switching: sends the entire message to an alt router route to get to the end user.packet switching: breaks the message into packets and sends them to the end user, using the path with the lightest load or least traffic at the time of transmit. Packets can be sent in order or not and are re-assembled at the recieving end in the correct order by packet number.

Packet switch and message switch?

packet switching can be considered an improvement over message switching.Similar to message switching,packet switching forwards data on first come first serve basis between nodes and no dedication connection is made (as it is done in circuit switching). But unlike message switching,packet switching puts an upper limit on the maximum size of the packet.If the packet size is greater than the maximum,it is segmented and then transmitted.Each segment has separate header which increases the overhead. But it reduces the average delays.Also in case of packet switching data is not stored for later transmission to a currently busy or inactive terminal.It just takes care of data transmission between nodes


What is the difference among different types of switching devices?

The difference among different types of switching devices is in the features and the functions that they have. The two main types are packet switching and circuit switching devices.


What is message switching?

Message switching is a telecommunications data transfer method that was first introduced in 1961; unlike packet switching that came after, message switching sends the entire message as one unit. To transfer the message, the message is first stored and then transferred via hops until it reaches the destination. Most messages are too large for random access memory (RAM), so the messages are temporarily stored in the hard drive. While message switching is not the primary method for data transfer, because it is slower and experiences delays when sending, it is still used widely with sending email. The advantages of this method are lowerbandwidth costs, better management of network congestion, and the easy transfer of messages to different destinations. When a user sends a message using message switching, this method first saves the entiremessage and then designates an address for the message, so it knows where the message is going. Once saved, the message is sent to the router, which switches it to the first hop, or node. At each hop, the message is inspected for problems or errors before being sent on to the next hop. The message keeps hopping around until it reaches its final destination. by muhammad kamran from bannu university number=03369797939


How is the term 'switching' used in context?

Switching is typically used in the context of switching phone lines or switching digital networks. It could also be used in the context of switching companies that provide services such as water or electric.
