Packet Switching

Switching

Switching is the process where data is transferred from one device to another.

Packet Switching 

Packet switching is not connection oriented its connection-less. No session or channel is established prior to data transfer

Data is broken down into individual packets that take different routes to the destination. This means they will not arrive in the correct order. Once the data packets have reached there destination the client will reassemble the packets in the correct order so that the data can be read. Packet switching uses bandwidth more efficiently as the bandwidth dynamically changes depending of the type of information being delivered.

Data travels independently and will take different paths to the destination. There is no dedicated channel. There is no waiting for a channel to open.

Global RTS The trip was in the morning on the 28th March 2025, Will and Patrick organised it. The purpose of the trip was to gain experience in the aviation industry, specifically air traffic control, using a simulator. We were shown how there simulators work and we were shown how to use them as well as being able to communicate using the aviation alphabet. We met people who worked there, learning how to become an air traffic controller. We used there main sim that used 4 big TVs to show a graphically simulated view of a run way from the view of a tower. We also communicated with headsets to simulate how real air traffic controllers communicate to pilots.
