Definition of Multiplexing

  • It is defined as the combining process of information that the device is getting from the various sources in order to transmit it further to the channel or path to the receiver՚s side.
  • It uses headers, so that at de-multiplexing stage, it can be helpful to locate them to proper receiver՚s end
  • It provides unique identifier to every packet or data frame it send.

Definition of De-Multiplexing

  • De-Multiplexing means that the separation of the combined data into individual streams according to the sequence number or the unique identification number provided on the data packets that are being transferred from one side or workstation to the other.
  • It simply separates the combined data.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Multiplexing Technique

Advantages:

  • Reduces number of wires
  • Reduces complexity of structure
  • Reduces the cost
  • Reduces Cost

Disadvantages:

  • Delay in switching ports
  • Extra I⟋O ports required to control it
