Switching
• It is the process of creating temporary
connections between two or more devices
linked to the switch, but not to each other.
• Circuit Switching
• Message Switching
• Packet Switching
– Datagram approach
– Virtual Circuit approach
Circuit Switching
• Creates physical connection between two
devices such as phones or computers, using
circuit switch.
• Circuit Switch is a device with ‘n’ inputs and
‘m’ outputs that creates temporary
connection between input link and output
link.
Drawbacks of Circuit Switching
• Suitable for voice communication.
• Less suited for data and Non-voice
transmissions.
• Less Data Rate.
• Inflexible.
Packet Switching
• Datagram Approach

Difference between Circuit Switching and Virtual
Circuit Switching
• PATH vs ROUTE: Circuit Switched Connection creates
path between two points.
Physical path is created by setting the switched for the
duration of the dial(dial-up) or duration of the
lease(leased line).
Virtual Circuit Switched Connection creates a route
between two end points.
This means that each switch creates an entry in routing
table for the duration of the session or duration of the
lease.
