Best Answer

a. memory

1. Packet copied by systems' CPU

2. Speed limited by memory bandwidth

b. bus

1. Datagram from input port memory to output port memory via a shared bus

2. Bus contention: switching speed limited by bus bandwidth

c. crossbar

1. Overcome bus bandwidth limitations

2. Banyan networks, other interconnection nets initially developed to connect processors in multiprocessor

3. Advanced design: fragmenting datagram into fixed length cells, switch cells through the fabric.

How many 4 way switches could you put on a single light fixture?

If you are talking about intermediate switches, the switches that are in the middle of the three way (UK two way) circuit, then you can add as many as your project needs. These type of switches must be in the middle, as if installed on the end, the different position switching will not operate.


What is difference between packet switching frame switching and cell switching?

Packet Switching refers to the transfering of the packet from 1 node to the other. Where as Cell Switching ,means the switching of a cell from 1 network to the other. Pls note that Packet and Cells are 2 different forms. Packet itself has header and pay load and but Packets are variable in size unlike cells which are fix. When packets are switched, the Packet Switch is used and that Switch looks for the next hop in its routing or forwarding table but when a cell is switched, ATM switches are used and the cells actually carry the data and the header and travels from 1 ATM switch to the other. The ATM switches donot use the complex method as Packet Switches use.

Why is Mercury used in light switches?

Mercury is used in switches because it is a liquid metal, conducts electricity, and is very stable. Switches made from mercury are also called "Silent Switches", since the switching occurs when the mercury makes the connection between the contacts, instead of a mechanical switch. The mercury is usually contained in a small glass vial within the switch. It is also commonly found in home thermostats, used to control heating and/or air conditioning systems.
