Circuit switching characterizes a network in which connections must be reserved prior to data transmission but afford network end systems the ability to send\/receive during the entirety of a session.<\/p>\n
As opposed to packet-switching<\/a>, circuit switching only allows a single network system to communicate over an allocated link during a given period of time. However, given that circuit switching connections are reserved for the duration of a session, that network system is free to transmit without queuing delays or interruptions.<\/p>\n Circuit switching can be configured with either Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM)<\/a> or Frequency-Division Multiplexing (FDM)<\/a>. Both approaches divide network resources equally among connections but take considerably different approaches.<\/p>\n FDM allocates resources in a continuous manner, breaking a communications spectrum into smaller bands with proportionally-smaller transmission capacity.<\/p>\n TDM breaks a full-bandwidth transmission capacity into time frames during which systems are allowed to transmit data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Circuit switching characterizes a network in which connections must be reserved prior to data transmission but afford network end systems the ability to send\/receive during the entirety of a session.
