What are the advantages of packet switching?
The advantages of packet switching are as follows:-
-
We do not find any delay in the delivery of the packets because they are sent to the destination as soon as they are available.
-
We do not find any requirement for massive storage space because the information is passed on to the destination as soon as they are received.
-
Due to the failure in the links, the delivery of the data is not stopped as these packets can be routed from different paths too.
-
The same channel can be used by multiple users while transferring their packets.
-
We find the usage of bandwidth better in case of packet switching because multiple sources can transfer packets from the same source link.
