Q2. What are the two approaches to packet-switching?

Ans. The two approaches to packet-switching are- a) Datagram Approach: Connectionless Service

• When the Internet began, the organization layer was intended to give a connectionless assistance.
• The organization layer convention treats every bundle autonomously.
• The parcels in a message could possibly venture to every part of a similar way to their objective.
• The switches in this sort of organization are called switches.
• Each parcel is steered dependent on the data contained in its header.
• In a connectionless bundle exchanged organization, the sending choice is based on the objective location of the bundle.
• In the datagram approach, the forwarding decision is based on the destination address of the packet. A connectionless packet-switched network

• In an association arranged assistance, there is a connection between all parcels having a place with a message.
• Before all datagrams in a message can be sent, a virtual association ought to be set up to characterize the way for the datagrams.
• After association arrangement, the datagrams can follow a similar way.
• In this kind of administration, not exclusively should the parcel contain the source and objective locations, it should likewise contain a stream name, a virtual circuit identifier that characterizes the virtual way the parcel ought to follow.
• In an association arranged bundle exchanged organization, the sending choice is in view of the mark of the parcel. A virtual-circuit packet-switched network
