Circuit-switched networks
In order for two users to communicate a
circuit or a connection has to be first
established by the network. Specifically, the
following three phases are involved:
– circuit establishment,
– data transfer,
– circuit disconnect.

Connection-oriented
packet-switched networks
• Circuit switching is a good solution for
voice, since it involves exchanging a
relatively continuous flow of data.
• However, it is not a good solution for the
transmission of bursty data

Connection-oriented packet-switched
networks imitate circuit-switched network.
In order for two users to communicate a
virtual circuit or a connection has to be first
established by the network. The following
three phases are involved:
– connection establishment,
– data transfer, and
– connection disconnect.

Connectionless
packet-switched networks
• In an IP network, a user can send packets to a
destination without having to set up a connection
first, i.e., without informing the network prior to
transmitting them.
• This simplifies the network, as there is no need for
a special signaling protocol.

Routing in IP
User A
User B
IP network
The routing of a packet through the network is done
on a hop-per-hop basis based on the destination IP
address carried in the IP packet’s header.

12
Quality of Service (QoS) in IP
• Typically, an IP router does not offer QoS.
• It cannot distinguish packets belonging to different
service classes based on their destination address.
• IP is almost ubiquitous. There has been a lot of
interest in introducing QoS in the IP network, and
MPLS seems to be the architecture of choice for
introducing QoS.

Examples of connections
Probably the oldest connection-oriented
circuit-switched network is the plain old
telephone system (POTS).

A bi-directional connection is established using signaling.
The connection is associated with an id number.

• The switching of a cell through an ATM switch is
done based on its connection ID number.
• A connection is associated with a specific class of
service.
• An ATM switch can distinguish cells belonging to
different service classes, and serve them
accordingly so that to provide them with the
requested QoS.
Connection-Oriented Networks – Wissam Fawaz
16
An MPLS connection
• The procedure is similar to ATM.
• An MPLS-enabled IP router switches IP
packets not on a hop-by-hop basis using the
packet’s IP address. Rather, it forwards them
using a label which identifies the connection
that the packet has to follow.

• An important feature of a wavelength
routing optical network is that it is a circuitswitched network.
• A connection is an optical path through the
optical network (called a lightpath) and it is
established using a wavelength on each hop
along the connection’s path.
