\nA point-to-point circuit can very well be called \u201ctwo cans and a string.\u201d It is quite simply a private line that connects two points together and is always on. Companies pay a monthly charge based on the distance between the two points and the speed required.<\/p>\n

Basic point-to-point data link<\/em>
\nA traditional point-to-point data link is a communications medium with exactly two endpoints and no data or packet formatting. The host computers at either end had to take full responsibility for formatting the data transmitted between them. The connection between the computer and communications medium was generally implemented through an RS-232 interface or something similar.<\/p>\n

When connected as a distance, each endpoint would be fitted with a modem<\/a> to convert analog telecommunications signals into a digital data stream. When the connection used a telecommunications provider, the connections were called a dedicated<\/a>, leased<\/a>, or private line<\/a>. The ARPANET<\/a> used leased lines to provide point-to-point data links between its packet-switching<\/a> nodes<\/a>, which were called Interface Message Processors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Modern point-to-point links<\/em>
\nIn (2003), the term point-to-point telecommunications relates to fixed wireless<\/a> data communications for Internet<\/a> or voice over IP<\/a> via radio<\/a> frequencies in the multi-gigahertz range. It also includes technologies such as laser<\/a> for telecommunications<\/a> but in all cases expects that the transmission medium is line of sight and capable of being fairly tightly beamed from transmitter<\/a> to receiver<\/a>. The Telecommunications Industry Association<\/a>‘s engineering committees develop U.S. standards for point-to-point communications and related cellular tower structures.[1]<\/a><\/sup> Online tools help users find if they have such line of sight.[2]<\/a><\/sup>
\nThe telecommunications signal is typically bi-directional, either time division multiple access<\/a><\/em> (TDMA) or channelized<\/a>.
\nIn hubs and switches, a hub provides a point-to-multipoint (or simply multipoint) circuit which divides the total bandwidth supplied by the hub among each connected client node. A switch on the other hand provides a series of point-to-point circuits, via microsegmentation, which allows each client node to have a dedicated circuit and the added advantage of having full-duplex<\/a> connections<\/p>\n
