Circuit Switching
|
Definition
|
Packet switching a method which sets up a limited number of dedicated
connections of constant bit rate and constant delay between nodes for
exclusive use during the communication session.
|
Circuit switching is a methodology of implementing a telecommunications
network in which two network nodes establish a dedicated communications
channel (circuit) through the network before the nodes may communicate.
|
Bandwidth
|
It uses shared bandwidth of
Channel.
|
It Uses Full Bandwidth of Channel.
|
Route/Path
|
Each packet is dispatched
independently and each may be routed via a different path.
|
The resources remain dedicated to
the circuit during the entire data transfer and the entire message follows
the same path.
