Describe the packet switching WAN transmission method.

What will be an ideal response?


Packet switching is a combination of circuit and message switching. It establishes a dedicated circuit between the two transmitting nodes, but the circuit is a logical connection and not a physical one. Although there may be several different physical routes used during the session,
each node is aware of only a single, dedicated channel. The advantage of this technique is that the best route can be established for the type and amount of data sent, thus creating an opportunity for high-speed transmissions. Packet switching works like a periscope, which supplies an image that travels from point to point along a nonlinear path.

You have an image of a person placed exactly where you want it on a layout. Unfortunately, the person in the photo is pointing—and leading the reader’s eye—right off the page. You decide to fix the problem by flipping the photo horizontally so that the image will point into the page. However, every time you use the transform panel to flip the image, the actual location of the image frame also moves. How can you remedy this situation, so that the picture is flipped and remains in exactly the same spot?
