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.
