• Only one leased line per site • Messages are divided into small units called
packets
• With N sites, you only need N leased lines,
not N* (N-1)/2 as with a full mesh - Short packets load switches more
effectively than fewer long messages
Access Device Needed at Each Site
• Packet-Switched PSDNs Usually Operate at
• Connects each site to access line Layer 2 (Data Link Layer for Single Subnets)
• Often a router - Should be called frame-switched networks
• Sometimes a device specific to a particular - Still called packet-switched networks
PSDN Technology
Packets are multiplexed on trunk lines
Point of Presence (POP)
• Cost of trunk lines is shared
• Place where you connect to the cloud
• Packet switching lowers transmission costs
• May be several in a city
• Dominates PSDN service today
• May not have any POP close
• Need leased line to POP
• Separate from PSDN charges
Disadvantages
• It does not perform flow control and error
