Circuit Switching Circuit-switched network
direct physical connection between two devices ex) phones or computers
shorter links (no, length) than point-to-point connection
The circuit can not be shared by other devices
circuit switches
Packet SwitchingDatagram Approach
each packet is treated independently from all others packet = datagram datagrams may arrive at their destination out of
order Transport layer reorders the datagrams
Packet SwitchingSVC(Switched Virtual Circuit)
A virtual circuit is created whenever needed and exists only for the duration of the specific exchange
comparable conceptually to dial-up circuit switching

Packet SwitchingCircuit switching vs. Virtual Circuit (cont.)
Dedicated vs. Shared
Frame Relay Higher data rate at lower cost
the past WAN : leased line or X.25 low data rate Solution : T-lines, mesh network, Frame relay Data rate of Frame relay : 1.544Mbps (T-1) /
44.376Mbps (T-3)
Pure mesh T-line network vs. Frame Relay
lower cost
Frame Relay Less overhead due to improved transmission media
No need to have a WAN that spends time and resources checking and double checking potential errors
X.25 vs. Frame relay • X.25
– extensive error checking and flow control at the network layer– station-to-station frame checking at the data link layer– overhead for reliability eats up bandwidth
• Frame Relay – does not provide error checking or require acknowledgment in the
data link layer because network become reliable and less error– All error checking is left to network and transport layer protocols– Frame relay traffic : simplified transmission
X.25 traffic
Frame Relay traffic
Frame RelayFrame Relay is normally used as a WAN WAN to connect LANs or mainframe computers.

Use a virtual circuit identifier (not physical address) Virtual circuit identifiers in Frame Relay operate at the data
link layer (cf. X.25: network layer) data link connection identifier (DLCI) : local number

ISDN Services
provides the means to transfer information (voice, data, video) between users without the network manipulating the content of that information
provides additional functionality to the bearer services and Teleservices
network may change or process the content of data layer 4-7 service
Layer 1-3 services
Three categories
User Interfaces BRI: Basic Rate Interface for home or small office
2B+D = 192kbps
PRI: Primary rate Interface 23B+D = 1.544Mbps (North America) = T1 30B+D = 2.048 Mbps (Europe) = E1
Subscriber Access to the ISDN
TP local loop
T1
Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN)
Bit rates for different application
For the services beyond the capabilities of both the BRI and PRI
ATM ArchitectureVirtual Connection
Connection is accomplished through TP, VP, VC Transmission Paths (TPs)
Physical connection (wire, cable, satellite and so on) Virtual Paths (VPs)
A connection or a set of connection between Switches Virtual Circuits (VCs)
All cells belonging to a single message follow the same VC
TPs > VPs > VCs
