PS CORE Graduate Programme Overview

1. What is PS CORE network?


a. Packet switching is a networking communication method used in telecommunications systems, whereby data is grouped into
blocks called packets and routed through a network using a destination address contained within each packet. ... It also means that
each packet can take a different route to its destination.
 Give background overview.
 The role of PS CORE in BMV.
2. Network Topology
 List and explain the main types of Network Elements (NE) in PS CORE network.
 List and explain the main types of NE interfaces in PS CORE network.
 Explain how it is interconnect with ICT.
 Main Topology of BMV PS Core network
 Design a High Level Diagram (HLD).
3. PS Core Billing
 List and explain the 2 main types of billing in BMV.
 List and explain the 2 main interfaces used in billing.
 Design a HLD that’s captures both billing system.
4. List and explain the 2 type of services offered by PS Core network in BMV and give an example with HLD for each of this services.
 A service offered by Prepaid Billing
 A service offered by Postpaid Billing.
1. What is packet switching with example?
A packet switched network follows networking protocols that divide messages intopackets before sending them. Packet-switching technologies are part of
the basis for most modern Wide Area Network (WAN) protocols, including Frame Relay, X. 25, and TCP/IP.
.
2. How does packet switching work?
To review, packet switching works by breaking data up into packets and sending it into a decentralized network; circuit switching works by keeping data
along a dedicated line. Each method has proven reliability, and has its own set of advantages and disadvantages

What are the key features of a packet switching network?


Key Features.

Uses a dedicated physical link between the sending and receiving devices. Offers the capability of storing messages temporarily to
reduce network congestion. Packets can be routed around network congestion. Packet switching makes efficient use ofnetwork bandwidth.

What are the advantages of packet switching?


Advantages of packet switching:

1. More efficient than circuit switching.


2. Data packets are able to find the destination without the use of a dedicated channel.
3. Reduces lost data packets because packet switching allows for resending of packets.

What are the stages of packet switching?


Packet switching steps

1. Data split into chunks (packets)


2. Each packet has a from address, to address and payload (data chunk)
3. If data requires multiple chunks then the order of each packet is noted.
4. Packets sent onto the network, moving from router to router taking different paths (set by the router)

Why Packet switching is better than circuit?


o Packet switching is easier and more affordable than circuit switching. Since all the bandwidth can be used at once, packet switching is
more efficient because it doesn't have to deal with a limited number of connections that may not be using all that bandwidth.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of packet switching?
Packet Switching

Advantages Send the data across a network Security benefit Big files can be sent as Disadvantages Data can be corrupted during
a collective Small packets can move easily because they can choose different routes transmission - the whole file will not be received
through the network. correctly.

Where is packet switching used?


o Packet switching is most commonly seen on data networks, including LANs, WANs and the Internet. It is well suited to data transmission, as
it allows networks to adapt to changing conditions quickly. For example, if one of the network's routers fails, packetscan be automatically re-
routed to avoid that device.

What is the difference between message switching and packet switching?


o Comparison or difference between packet switching and message switching. ... As in message switching, one single datagram is either
received or lost. One single network path is used for the same. In packet switching, many packets generated by same node and belonging to
the same destination may take different paths.
What are the four sources of packet delay?
o In packet switched networks, there are four types of commonly identified delays – processing, queuing, transmission and propagation delays.
Processing delay is the CPU cycles needed to look at the packet headers and decide what to do with the packet, and do it – basically the time
needed to process the packet.
What is IP packet?
The packet carries data using Internet protocols, which is TCP / IP ( Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol ). ... Each packet contains part of the
message body. Typically, a package usually takes about 1500 bytes
What is TCP packet?
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation through which application programs
can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol (IP), which defines how computers sendpackets of data to each other.
What are the 3 parts of a packet?
Parts of a Network Packet

A network packet is divided into three parts; the header, payload and trailer, each containing values that are characteristic of it. The header contains the
source address, a destination address, protocol, and packet number.
What is meant by packet?
A packet is a small amount of data sent over a network, such as a LAN or the Internet. Similar to a real-life package, each packet includes a source and
destination as well as the content (or data) being transferred.
What is a packet structure?
Advertisements. Internet Protocol being a layer-3 protocol (OSI) takes data Segments from layer-4 (Transport) and divides it into packets.
IP packet encapsulates data unit received from above layer and add to its own header information. The encapsulated data is referred to as IP Payload.
