5. Space-Division Switching
Each input takes a different physical path in the switch matrix depending on
the output.
Provide a separate physical connection between inputs and outputs
Transfer signal from a given input to specific output
6. Crossbar Switch
As digits are dialed, the control element of the switch receives the entire address
before processing it.
7. Crossbar Switch note:
CROSSBAR arises from the use if crossing horizontal and vertical bars to select
contacts on the cross-point.
Step-by-Step and Crossbar Switching Systems use electro-mechanical
components for both switching matrix and control elements.
8. Space-Division Switching
(advantages and disadvantages)
Advantage of space-Division Switch
It is instantaneous
Disadvantages of space division switch
Limitation of this design is the number of crosspoints required
With this number of crosspoints is impractical
Switch is also inefficient
9. Time-Division Switching
Uses time-division multiplexing
Most popular technology time-slot interchange(TSI)
Time-Slot Interchange
Connecting four input lines to
four output lines
Each input line wants to send
data to an output line according
to the following pattern.
10. Time-Division Switching(cont.)
The size of each location is the same as the single time slot
Combines a TDM multiplexer, a TDM demultiplexer and a TSI
TSI consisting of RAM with several memory location
Advantage of Time-division switching
Needs no crosspoints
Disadvantage of Time-division switching
Processing each connection creates delays.
11. Two Dimensional Switching
Combination of space division switching and time division
switching.
Achieved both time slot interchange and sample switching trunks.
Multistage switches of this sort can be designed as time-space-
time (TST) switch and space-time-space (STS) switch.
Main task is to interconnect an incoming time slot and an
outgoing time slot.
The unit responsible for this function is group switch.
12. Configuration of TST
Combination of both Space
and time division , we find
Time and Space division
The advantage of space-
division switching is that it
is instantaneous
The advantage of time-
division switching is that
it needs no cross points.
13. Time-space-time switch combination
consists of two time stages and one space stage.
12 inputs and 12 outputs.
Instead of one time-division switch, it divides the inputs into three groups and directs
them to three timeslot interchanges
The last stage is a mirror image of
the first stage.
The middle stage is a space-division
switch (crossbar).

15. Circuit Switched Networks
A set of switches connect by physical links
Only one channel dedicated on each link
By dividing n channel by using FDM or TDM
Dedicated route is established between
the source and the destination
The entire message is transferred
through it.

17. Characteristic of a Circuit-Based Switch
Blocking Switching Node
-occurs when the switching matrix does not allow some input lines to be
connected to output lines.
-used on voice system
Non-blocking Switching Node
-allows all inputs to be connected to all outputs.
-used for data connections.
18. Advantages and Disadvantages of Circuit Switching
Advantages
Provides a guaranteed data rate.
Data is transmitted without any delay
Suitable for long continuous transmission.
Disadvantages
Cause of dedicated connection ,it can’t transmit any other data ,even channel is
free.
Dedicated channels require more bandwidth.
Establishing a physical link between the two stations is too long.
19. Packet Switched Networks
A digital network technology that breaks up a message into fixed size packets
for transmission
Packets of different messages share the communication channel
When traversing network switches , routers and other network nodes ,
packets are buffered and queued , resulting in variable delay and throughput
depending on the traffic load in the network
Each packet is then transmitted individually and can even follow different
routers to its destination
21. Switching Technique of Packet Switched
Networks
Station breaks long message into packets
Packets sent one at a time to the network
Packets handled in two ways
-Datagram approach
-Virtual circuit approach
22. Datagram approach
In a datagram network, each packet is treated independently of all others.
Packets in this approach are referred to as datagram
Each packet is separately addressed & treated as independent
Figure explains the theory datagram transmission clearly.
23. Virtual Circuit approach
Virtual circuit network is implemented at the data link layer
A circuit switch network is implemented at physical layer
Datagram is implemented at network layer
A virtual network is a cross between a circuit switched network & a
datagram network . It has some characteristics of both.
25. Hybrid Switching
This switching format is a hybrid of packet and circuit switching and
combines advantages of both.
Based on synchronous slots
Hybrid Transfer Mode(HTM)
-QoS data on slots periodically
-BE packets flows through the rest of slots
Hybrid Switch
- TDM switch + Packet switch
27. Advantages & Disadvantage of Hybrid
Switching
Advantages :
Achieves this by taking advantage of the internet and its lower price
points .
Managed hybrid network can help add bandwidth
Alleviate the strain on network capacity
Disadvantages :
Possible long wait to establish a connection during which no data can
be transmitted.
More expensive than any other switching techniques.
A dedicated path is required for each connection.
28. The method used by the data communication system
The destination recognizes the start of a data communication
Reliably reads the information sent
Timing
30. Send only 1 character at a time
Character being the alphabet or number or control character
Preceding each character is a start bit
Ending each character is 1 or more stop bits
Asynchronous Transmission
31. Send block of data at a time
Each block is preceded by a Start Field
Also have an end field
Both have a special bit
The block can contain up to 64,000 bits
Synchronous Transmission
32. Known as "networks of coupled dynamical systems“
Allows to coordinate and schedule actions between stations
Used in Ethernet and Internet protocol
Network Synchronization
33. Sender/Receiver Synchronization
Receiver/Receiver Synchronization
Sender/Receiver(SR) synchronization
A sender presents its time signal as a timestamp message to one
recipients.
Each receiver takes a timestamp at the arrival of this message.
The sender and all receivers are synchronize when the steady
condition reached.
Types of network Synchronization
34. Types of network Synchronization (cont.)
Receiver/Receiver(RR) synchronization
• A sender transmits a broadcast message to numerous receivers.
• The recipients timestamp the message upon gathering and exchange this information with
different receivers that have taken the same message.
• Just the receivers are synchronized and the sender stays unsynchronized
35. The purpose of moving packets across a network from one host to
destination
Performed by dedicated device called routers
Each switch has a routing table
Routing
37. Destination device address
Neighbor routers for learning about remote network
Possible routers to all remote network
The best route with the shortest path to each remote network
How the routing information can be verified and maintained
Routing process
38. 1. Static routing
2. Dynamic routing
Static Routing
Static routing does not involve any change in routing table unless the
network administrator changes or modify them manually.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing is a superior routing technique.
It alters the routing information according to the altering network
circumstances by examining the arriving routing update message
Routing Types
39. The process of managing, controlling or reducing the network traffic
Particularly internet bandwidth
Used by the network administrators
Part of bandwidth management
Necessary to measure the network traffic to determine the cause of network
congestion
Necessary for efficient use of datacenter network bandwidth and for
maintaining service level agreements.
Traffic control
