- Switching involves moving packets between devices on the same network. *Conversely, routing involves moving packets between different networks.
- Switching is able to determine where a packet should be sent by examining the MAC address within the data link header of the packet (the MAC address is the hardware address of a network adapter).
- A switch maintains a database of MAC addresses and what port they are connected to.(operate at layer 2 of the OSI model).
- Routers, on the other hand, operate at layer 3 of the OSI Model.
- A router is able to determine where to send a packet using the Network ID within the Network layer header. It then uses the routing table to determine the route to the destination host.

∙ 13y agoRouting helps to travel data packets to the appropriate destinaion with the help of routing protocols like RIP,IGRP,EIGRP,OSPF.This protocols stores routing information in the routing tables.
Switching is used to forward data packets to its destination. There are 3 types of witching that are cut through, store and forward .

What is difference between static and alternate routing in a circuit switching network?
Static routing is fixed, alternative routing is dynamic and therefore adaptive. If a primary route is fails, static routing will not adapt and routing is lost. However, alternative routing will dynamically change in order to maintain routing.
What is routing and switching?
routing is the gateway whereas the switching is where the internet cables are plugged.
Is there any difference between the switching action of relays and contactors?
No, there is not any difference between the switching action of a relay and a contactor. Both of these devices are operated by an electro magnetic coil.
Difference between process switching and context switching?
It has been suggested that process switching and thread switching be merged into this article or section. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2012.
Which principle does a multilayer switch operate?
It combines switching and routing
6 What is the difference between SS7 routing and IP routing?

What is the difference between interior and exterior routing protocols?
Interior routing protocols are used to communicate within a single autonomous system. Exterior routing protocols are used to communicate between multiple autonomous systems.
Difference between of rip v1 and rip v2?
Rip V1 is Classful routing protocol Rip V2 is Classless routing Protocol
Difference between switching and multiplexing?
Multiplexing-Combining all the inputs into one output. Switching-Taking one input to the output, at a time/frequency
What is the difference between recipe and routing in sap pp?
It is basically the same. The routing is used in discrete manufacturing, the recipe is used for the process industry solution.
What is a difference between pstn and psdn?
PSTN stands for Public switched telephone network PSDN stands for Public switched Data network / Packet Switched Data Network. The basic difference between two is the switching technique used. PSTN uses Circuit Switching and PSDN uses Packet Switching
What is the difference between code-switching and code-mixing in english communication?
Code-switching involves alternating between two languages or dialects within a conversation, often based on the context or audience. Code-mixing is the blending of elements from different languages or dialects within a single sentence or discourse. Both phenomena are common in bilingual or multilingual individuals.
