    Role of the address field in a packet

    travelling through a Virtual Circuit


    Network and a Datagram Network
    ADDRESS FIELD

    ● The portion of a message that contains the source user


    address and destination user address is called address field.
    ● In a communication network, address field is usually
    contained within the message header portion of the
    message.
    ● It houses the register address and memory address.
    VIRTUAL CIRCUIT NETWORK
    ● Virtual circuit switching is done at the network layer of the
    communication system.

    ● The path between the source and the destination nodes that is followed
    by first data packet gets allocated. All other data packets transmitted
    between them will use the same path.
    VIRTUAL CIRCUIT NETWORK
    DATAGRAM NETWORK
    ● Datagrams are data packets which contain adequate header information
    so that they can be individually routed by all intermediate network
    switching devices to the destination.

    ● In a datagram network, each time an end system wants to send a packet,


    it stamps the packet with the address of the destination end system and
    then pops the packet into the network.
    DATAGRAM NETWORK
    ROLE OF ADDRESSING FIELD IN CASE OF
    VIRTUAL CIRCUIT NETWORK

    ● The address field defines the virtual circuit number (local)


    addressing.
    ● The addresses are used by routers between source and
    destination IP address to determine a path through the
    network for packet.
    ROLE OF ADDRESSING FIELD IN CASE OF
    DATAGRAM NETWORK

    ● The address field defines the end to end (source to


    destination) addressing.
    ● Source is the IP address the packets coming from and
    destination is the IP address they are going to
    CONCLUSION

    Addressing fields holds an important place in computer networks. A


    packet is transmitted as soon as it is available in a node, based upon its
    header information. The packets of a message are not routed via the
    same path. So, the packets in the message arrives in the destination
    out of order. It is the responsibility of the destination to reorder the
    packets in order to retrieve the original message.
