    Packet switching breaks communications into individual datagrams that are routed independently through a network based on header information specifying the source and destination. Each device along the path makes forwarding decisions to route datagrams along the best available path, allowing datagrams from multiple communications to share network links. The datagrams are reassembled at the destination based on their headers. This approach provides advantages like multiplexing and network resilience.

    IoT3x Packet Switching

    Packet Switching

    1. When a data communication is sent - the devices along the communication path make

    switching and forwarding decisions based on the header. This process is known as Pack-

    et Switching.

    2. Each communication is broken into datagrams and each datagram has a label (header)

    containing information about the data and, most importantly, where it is going to (des-

    tination address) and where it is coming from (source address).

    3. Many paths are used for a single communication as datagrams are individually routed

    to a destination. No fixed path, datagrams are routed depending on the best path avail-

    able at the time.

    4. Datagrams are lined up in their correct sequence at the destination again based upon

    the header information.

    Advantages of Packet Switching:

    Multiplexing: Transmitted datagrams from different data streams can share the same link
    and then be e-assembled into the separate streams by the receiving device.

    Network resilience: If one path to a destination fails, the datagrams can be re-directed
    onto another path.
