What does virtual circuit network connection status information mean? What rate does the forwarding table in the switch need to be adjusted if connections are formed and dropped in a VC network switch at a rate of one connection per millisecond (on average)?

What is the purpose of a Layer 2 switch in the OSI model?

List the characteristics that set synchronous and isochronous connections apart, and provide an example of each.

What is the primary function of a switch in the OSI model, and which layer does it operate on?

How can the effect of each issue 1) Delay Latency, 2) Network Jitter, and 3) Packt Loss be minimized in a network?

This is the same question , not different question , please answer the last one too.   Give the virtual circuit tables for all the switches after each of the following connections is established. Assume that the sequence of connections is cumulative; that is, the first connection is still up when the second connection is established, and so on. Also assume that the VCI assignment always picks the lowest unused VCI on each link, starting with 0, and that a VCI is consumed for both directions of a virtual circuit. F connects to A

Unlike datagram and virtual-circuit networks, circuit-switched networks do not require a routing or switching table to establish the output port from which information relevant to a destination can be conveyed. Please explain what is causing this disparity.

Consider TDM-based circuit switching with 8000 frames per second and 32 time slots per frame. During each time slot 8 bits are sent. What is the total transmission rate of the whole link in kbps?

If there is forwarding, for the first five cycles during the execution of this code, specify which signals are asserted in each cycle by hazard detection and forwarding units in Figure 4.60.
