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 circuit switch and packet switch?
These are types of switches used in networks. A packet-switched network moves data in separate units called packets which are then assembled to create the message. Circuit switched networks send continuously but require dedicated point-to-point connections.
Difference between packet switching and message switching by table format?
In Packet switching the packetss are stored and forwarded from primary storage (RAM) while in Message switching the message are stored and relayed from seconadary storage (disk). In Packet switched network data are transmitted in discrete units of potentially variable length blocks called packets, while in Message switching mecahnism a node recives a message stores it until the apporiarate route is free, then sends it along. Message switching sends data units that can be of any length. Packetswitching has a maximum packet size. Any message longer than that is splitup into multiple packets.
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.
How does an Ethernet switch work?
Ethernet switches, both unmanaged and managed, avoid collisions by routing the messages in an Ethernet network to only the intended devices. When a switch receives an Ethernet message (packet), it reads the address of the device for which the message is intended, and then transmits the message out of only the port to which that device is connected (even if it is connected through several other switches). When the switch gets the first bit of information from the first device, such as your computer, it reads the MAC address of that device. The MAC address is the media access control number. This number is an ID number that is assigned to most network adapters and is preset by the manufacturer. Once this number is read, it is recorded in memory by the switch. Next, the switch attempts to look for any other devices on the network by sending out packet requests of information. Once another device gets this packet, it sends out a signal to the switch to acknowledge the request. Now the MAC address of this device is recorded. Each time these packets are sent, the information is "time stamped." The switch then works to filter this information that is communicated among all of the devices. The switch has enough memory to retain this information. Industrial applications of Ethernet (called industrial Ethernet) require special Ethernet switches that have industrial ratings for noise immunity, shock, vibration and temperature in a wide range of form factors with multiple options for copper and fiber connectivity. See link below for examples of industrial Ethernet Switches from Phoenix Contact.
What is Packet Switch Stream or PSS?
The PPS was a packet switched network employed by the British Telecom. It was based on X.25 which is a standard protocol suite for WAN communication. Introduced in the early 80s, this network is fairly old and as such its last node was switched off back in 2006.
A switch is a network navigation device that merely retransmits a signal to all other nodes attached to it?
No, that would be a hub or repeater. A switch will only transmit a message to the designated receiver (unless the packet is a broadcast packet).

Do I get as much packet loss with a switch as I do with a hub?
Packet loss is common with switches but not much of an issue using a hub.

Is a UDP packet smaller than a TCP packet?
In general, yes, using UDP transport will use a smaller packet than TCP. UDP generally assumes that the complete message will fit within a single packet, unlike TCP which will segment or break apart a message into multiple packets for guaranteed reliable delivery. UDP has no such requirement to deliver anything within a reliable framework and would like to keep the entire message within a single packet and eliminate the segmentation and reassembly process.
Is line efficiency greater in packet switching?
The short answer is "no." The longer answer is that "packet switching" is the way the internet works. If you send a very short message, it might end up as a single "packet." A packet consists of a sandwich that contains your message as the filling. The beginning contains routing information - where you want the message to go, and eventually where the message has been (how many stops it made along the way and what their address is). The end contains information to keep the message "clean" and be sure we don't drop some words or letters, or add some.If your message is long, it will probably be divided into several packets, and each packet is identified with a unique message identifier showing it is your message in a number of pieces and a sequence within the message. Each packet is then sent out over the internet. Each packet will probably follow a different route through the internet, stopping at different places along the way to the destination. At the destination, the receiving machine will recognize that a packet is part of a bigger message, and store it until all the parts are received. It will then assemble it as a single message and pass it on to your application, usually your internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.So...a line is more efficient when you fill it with large blocks of data. When you use packets you are duplicating a lot of information in each packet, and generating information to identify the packet and the data within it. Therefore, packets are inherently NOT effiicient for line usage. However...They are extremely effective in allowing the internet to get large amounts of data to/from places in a short amount of time by being able to process all your packets in "parallel" mode. So if your message takes 6 packets, those 6 packets can be sent from point A to point B through 6 different routes using a lot of different machines along the way. The message gets to you quicker than sending it all at once, which is line efficient but not network efficient. By the way, you may have heard the term "packet loss." You can now figure out that that means one of the packet's in a message never made it to the receiving machine. When the receiving machine receives a packet for a message, it starts a clock on that message. If it doesn't receive the rest of the packets in a reasonable amount of time, it flags the message as incomplete and logs the packet loss. You now know a bit of how the internet works.
Why do networking specialists say Switch where you can route where you must?
Yes, the main reason is switch is an inteligent device for routing IP Packet. It substitute conventional hub which is not smart because it broadcast IP packet to all its port. This impact to network performance because IP packet flooding network. While switch have internal routing table that can help switch to forwarding to a exact port where the destination host is connected to its switch port.
