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.

What is a PSS in computers?

PSS in computers is Portable Shopping System. The system allows you to track purchases, increase sales, and keep records.


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.


Which two of the following accurately describe the store-and-forward switching method?

Store-and-forward switching is a method used in networking where a switch receives the entire data packet before forwarding it to the appropriate destination. This approach allows the switch to check for errors and determine the best path for the packet, enhancing reliability and efficiency. However, it can introduce latency since the switch must wait to receive the complete packet before making forwarding decisions. Additionally, this method contrasts with cut-through switching, which begins forwarding the packet as soon as the destination address is read.


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


How is data passed in packets?

The details vary enormously from protocol to protocol, but the basics are the same for all of them. A stream of data is split into packets, the packet has a header which contains (amongst other things) the destination for the packet. The network uses the destination address to deliver the network to the correct destination.

Why are the timestamps unset in a packet for stream 0?

Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0 because stream 0 is typically used for control messages and does not require timing information like other data streams.

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.

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.


What's the best switch that provides deep packet inspection?

The SonicWALL TotalSecure 25 Switch is a good option.


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).


Which switch provides good deep packet inspection?

Use the SonicWALL Secure TZ 180 Wireless 25 Node switch.


What is the abbreviation of addendum?

What is microsegmentation of a LAN switch?

Essentially, any packet transmitted between ports on the switch behave as though the two connected nodes were directly connected as the only two nodes on the network, thus avoiding packet collisions with other nodes.
