Switching
The Inter Space
Inter space is a java implementation, which provides a high
level common java interface to middleware. It enables re-facing legacy
applications using existing development tools like VB. It works like a gateway.
Switching Techniques
Data communication takes place by two devices that are
directly connected by some transmission media. Whenever we have multiple
devices, we have the problem of how to connect them to make one-to-one
communication possible. Its best solution is switching. A switched network consists of a series of interlinked
nodes, called switches. Switches are devices capable of creating temporary
connections between two or more devices linked to the switch. Consider the
following figure-
Types of switching-
Circuit Switching: Circuit
Switching is a method in which a dedicated communication path is established
between two devices through one or more intermediate switches. The telephone
system uses this type of switching.
Message Switching:
If two devices want to communicate, a temporary link is established for the
duration of one message transfer. Physical links are allocated dynamically
among devices as required, and are allocated for short periods. Each message is
a block of data, with system information. This scheme is similar to post-office
mailing system.
Packet Switching:
Packet Switching is a method of transmitting messages through a communication
network, in which long messages are subdivided into small packets of data. The packets
are then transmitted as in message switching. It is a data transmission method that
simultaneously routs and transmits data packets form different customers over a
communication channel or telephone line, thus optimized use of resources.
