Packet-switching: store-and-forward
takes L/R seconds to transmit (push out) packet of L bits on to link at R bps
store and forward: entire packet must arrive at router before it can be transmitted on next link
delay = 3L/R (assuming zero propagation delay)
Packet switching versus circuit switching
great for bursty data
resource sharing
simpler, no call setup
excessive congestion: packet delay and loss
protocols needed for reliable data transfer, congestion control
Q: How to provide circuit-like behavior?
bandwidth guarantees needed for audio/video apps
still an unsolved problem (chapter 7)
Caravan analogy
cars “propagate” at 100 km/hr
toll booth takes 12 sec to service car (transmission time)
car~bit; caravan ~ packet
Q: How long until caravan is lined up before 2nd toll booth?
