Circuit Switching vs Packet Switching; A Detailed Comparson

What’s the Problem?

In a network we have many devices. The prime problem we face is how to connect them with each other. One solution could be a mesh topology, where every node is connected with every other node. But this is impractical when the network is large. Similarly star and bus topologies have many constraints like distance between nodes, length of cabling between nodes etc.

What’s the Solution?

A good solution is a switched network. Where multiple interlinked nodes can create a temporary connection between two nodes. There are two most used categories of switched networks

  1. Circuit switching in networking
  2. Packet switching in networking
