Detailed explanation-1: -Circuit switching is used for connections that must be continuous for long periods of time, such as long-distance communication. Traditional telephone systems–i.e., landlines–are an example of a technology that uses circuit switching. Dial-up network connections.
Detailed explanation-2: -Packet Switching transmits data across digital networks by breaking it down into blocks or packets for more efficient transfer using various network devices.
Detailed explanation-3: -Circuit switching and packet switching are the two different methods of switching that are used to connect multiple communicating devices with one another. The key difference between circuit switching and packet switching is that packet switching is connectionless, whereas circuit switching is connection-oriented.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Circuit switching, two network nodes establish a dedicated communications channel (circuit) through the network before the nodes may communicate. It is a method whereby a dedicated physical path, or circuit, is established and maintained between two nodes or locations for the duration of a connection.
