Circuit Switching. Circuit-switched network. A switched network consists of a series of interlinked nodes, called switches. Switches are hardware and/or software devices capable of creating temporary connections between two or more devices linked to the switch but not to each other.

Circuit-switched network A switched network consists of a series of interlinked nodes, called switches. Switches are hardware and/or software devices capable of creating temporary connections between two or more devices linked to the switch but not to each other.
Circuit Switching Circuit switching creates a direct physical connection between two devices. A circuit switch
Time-division multiplexing, without and with a time-slot interchange
A telephone system Note: The telephone network is an example of circuit switched network.
Note: Intra-LATA services are provided by local exchange carriers. Since 1996, there are two types of LECs: incumbent local exchange carriers and competitive local exchange carriers.
Note: Voice communication used analog signals in the past, but is now moving to digital signals. On the other hand, dialing started with digital signals (rotary) and is now moving to analog signals (touch-tone).
Note: ADSL is an asymmetric communication technology designed for residential users; it is not suitable for businesses.
Note: The existing local loops can handle bandwidths up to 1.1 MHz.
Note: ADSL is an adaptive technology. The system uses a data rate based on the condition of the local loop line.
Note: Communication in the traditional cable TV network is unidirectional.
Note: Communication in an HFC cable TV network can be bidirectional.
Note: Downstream data are modulated using the 64-QAM modulation technique.
Note: The theoretical downstream data rate is 30 Mbps.
Note: Upstream data are modulated using the QPSK modulation technique.
Note: The theoretical upstream data rate is 12 Mbps.
Note: SONET is a synchronous TDM system controlled by a master clock.
