Quiz Chapter 10/12: True/False Questions

1) Circuit switching is used for private networks using on-site circuit switches and leased lines. It reserves switching and transmission resources for the exclusive use of a circuit for the duration of a connection, making it efficient for digital data. 2) Packet switching networks are distributed collections of packet switching nodes. Packets intended for the same destination may follow different routes through the network due to transmission delays between nodes. 3) The X.25 protocol results in overhead for packet switching networks. Circuit switching remains effective for long distance communications while packet switching is more efficient for bursty data traffic.

Quiz chapter 10/12

TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS:
1) Circuit switching is the basis for private networks built on leased lines and using on
site circuit switches. _________
2) Circuit switching is very efficient in handling digital data. _________
3) With circuit switching, switching and transmission resources within the network are
reserved for the exclusive use of the circuit for the duration of the connection. _________
4) Circuit switching connections do not appear to attached devices as direct connections.
_________
5) Each packet contains some portion of the user data plus control information needed for
proper functioning of the network. _________
6) Circuit switching and packet switching are traditional approaches to wide area network
design. _________
7) Circuit switching remains one of the few effective technologies for long distance
communications. _________
8) The packet switching network is a distributed collection of packet switching nodes.
Because the nodes are distributed, there is a time delay between a change in status in one
portion of the network and knowledge of that change elsewhere. _________
9) Analog data must be converted to digital before transmission for packet switching.
_________
10) The X.25 approach results in considerable overhead. _________
FILL IN THE BLANK QUESTIONS:
1) __________ switching is used in public telephone networks.
2) With _________ virtual circuits a route is defined between two endpoints and all
packets for that virtual circuit follow the same route.
3) __________ switching was designed to provide a more efficient facility for bursty data
traffic. The attached stations must organize their data into packets for transmission.
4) A key distinguishing element of packet switching networks is whether the internal
operation is datagram or ___________ .

5) With internal _________ each packet is treated independently and packets intended for
the same destination may follow different routes.
6) The standard protocol for the interface between an end system and a packet switching
network is __________ .
7) Flexibility, resource sharing, robustness, and responsiveness are all advantages of
_________ switching.
8) Each station in a network connects to a node, and the collection of nodes is referred to
as a __________ network.
9) Communication via circuit switching involves three phases: circuit establishment, data
transfer and __________ .
10) The branches between exchanges are called __________ . They carry multiple voice
frequency circuits using either FDM or synchronous TDM.
