Correct option is A
Packet switching is a method of data transmission in computer networks where messages are divided into smaller packets. These packets are transmitted independently and can take different routes to reach the destination. Once all packets arrive, they are reassembled in the correct order.
Information Booster:
1. Types of Switching in Networks:
· Circuit Switching: Dedicated path (e.g., traditional phone systems).
· Packet Switching: Dynamic path (e.g., the Internet).
· Message Switching: Entire message stored and forwarded, no splitting into packets.
2. Advantages of Packet Switching:
· Efficient utilization of network resources.
· Resilience to failures due to dynamic routing.
3. Examples of Packet-Switched Networks:
· The Internet.
· Local Area Networks (LANs) using Ethernet.
