4.2 Packet Switching Technology

Packet Switching is a digital networking communications system that assemblies all transmitted data, regardless of content, type, or construction into properly sized blocks, called packets. Packet switching structures sending variable sequences of packets over a shared network. When crossing network adapters, switches, routers and other network nodes, packets are safeguarded and lined up, resulting in flexible delay and put through depending on the traffic load in the network. In this picture the data for packet A to C is being directed straight to the packet for its size and length of data, this is a shared network system.

To explain this picture, You first need to understand that any information you type in a computer on a keyboard or scan into the computer is called Input Techonologies. The next step to this process is called the Processing Techonlogies. This is where it transforms all your information you just enter into outputs this is done in your CPU (the brain of the computer).This occursso that it can be prepared for the changeing of letters and characters to binary code ,which in another words its translating information to machine launguage.  In most cases its for letters and characters which we call bits.
