An advantage of Packet Switching is to transfer the file faster
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Packet switching is the transfer of small pieces of data across various networks. These data chunks or “packets” allow for faster, more efficient data transfer. Often, when a user sends a file across a network, it gets transferred in smaller data packets, not in one piece.

Detailed explanation-2: -Advantages of packet switching over circuit switching: More efficient than circuit switching. Data packets are able to find the destination without the use of a dedicated channel. Reduces lost data packets because packet switching allows for resending of packets.

Detailed explanation-3: -In packet switching network unlike CS network, it is not required to establish the connection initially. The connection/channel is available to use by many users, but when capacity or number of users increases then it will lead to congestion in the network.

Detailed explanation-4: -➨As explained above message switching takes more time compare to packet switching as entire message will be stored at each of the hop points till it is completely received.
