Key Concepts

Addressing

Addressing in networking refers to the system of assigning unique identifiers to devices or endpoints within a network. These addresses are used to route data to the correct destination, ensuring that information is delivered accurately across interconnected networks.

Multiplexing

Multiplexing is a technique in communications that combines multiple signals or data streams into a single transmission medium. By interleaving or otherwise sharing the available bandwidth, multiplexing maximizes the efficiency of the communication link without requiring a dedicated path for each individual stream.

Circuit Switching

Circuit switching is a communication method where a dedicated physical or logical connection is established between two endpoints for the duration of the session. This technique reserves the entire channel for that connection, ensuring a constant, predictable bandwidth and a fixed route, making it ideal for applications needing stable, sustained communication.
