Trunking

Trunking, in a general context, refers to a system that allows multiple communication signals to travel over a single connection or pathway. This is commonly used in telecommunications and computer networking. Imagine a highway where several cars (data signals) can travel together instead of using separate roads. Trunking makes communication more efficient by reducing the number of channels needed, thus saving resources and maximizing capacity. It is especially important in managing data traffic, ensuring that large volumes of information can be sent and received smoothly and quickly between different points in a network.
