Which of the following is/are not true about a packet switched network?
Answers
Refers to protocols in which messages are divided into packets before they are sent. Each packet is then transmitted individually and can even follow different routes to its destination. ... Most modern Wide AreaNetwork (WAN) protocols, including TCP/IP, X.25, and Frame Relay, are based on packet-switchingtechnologies.
The above given question has been rewritten with the options as follows:
Which of the following is/are not true about a packet switched network?
a. A communication link can be shared by more than one connection.
b. A communication link is dedicated to a connection.
c. The packet transfer delay between a pair of nodes is more or less constant.
d. The packet transfer delay between a pair of nodes may very with time.
Answer:
The statement regarding packet switching which is not true is :-
c. The packet transfer delay between a pair of nodes is more or less constant.
The method in which data is transferred to a network in the forms of packet is called packet switching. The data is broken into several small pieces to ensure efficiency in data transfer rate.
These small pieces are called packets. As it is a store and forward network, delay occurs in packet switching , thus it is not constant overall.
