Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: Packet switching
The modern Internet is designed around packet switching at the IP/data-communication level. Data is divided into packets; each packet can be routed independently and then reassembled at the destination.
Why not circuit switching? Circuit switching reserves a dedicated path for the whole session and is associated with traditional telephone networks. Some legacy access systems may use circuit-like mechanisms underneath, but the Internet’s core data communication is packet-switched.
हिन्दी उत्तर: आधुनिक इंटरनेट डेटा संचार में इंटरनेट पैकेट स्विचिंग पर काम करता है। डेटा छोटे packets में विभाजित होता है, packets अलग-अलग route हो सकते हैं और destination पर फिर से जुड़ते हैं। Circuit switching पारंपरिक telephone networks से जुड़ी technique है, इंटरनेट की core data communication technique नहीं।
