Transmission mode refers to the mechanism of transferring of data between two devices connected

over a network.

The way in which data is transmitted from one device to another device is known as transmission mode.

Circuit switching and packet switching are the two different methods of switching that are used to
connect multiple communicating devices with one another. The key difference between circuit switching
and packet switching is that packet switching is connectionless, whereas circuit switching is connection-
oriented.

Difference between Connection-oriented and Connection-less Services

Both Connection-oriented service and Connection-less service are used for the connection
establishment between two or more two devices. These types of services are offered by the network
layer.

Connection-oriented service is related to the telephone system. It includes connection establishment


and connection termination. In a connection-oriented service, the Handshake method is used to
establish the connection between sender and receiver.

Connection-less service is related to the postal system. It does not include any connection establishment
and connection termination. Connection-less Service does not give a guarantee of reliability. In this,
Packets do not follow the same path to reach their destination.
