Explain the way in which packet switched networks differ is similar to circuit switched networks?
Computer networks would be packet switched whereas a phone network would be circuit switched. Obviously packet switched are going to be alot more reliable and apparantly cheaper and less harder on the environment.
Is Wireshark a security threats?
Alone, Wireshark is not a significant threat. provided that no hubs are used on a network and switches are not attacked (see Macoff) then a user running wireshark will only see traffic from their own host (see micro-segmentation). Wireshark and other packet sniffing programs should only be used by administration staff on networks as traditional users have no legitimate use for them.
Did Paul Baran invent packet switched networks?
Paul baran was one of the three inventors of packet-switched networks, along with Donald Davies and Leonard Kleinrock.
Is the internet be descrided as a circuit switched network or packet switched network?
The Internet is packet switched, meaning each individual packet is routed from the source to the destination separately, and possibly through different paths. An example of a circuit-switched network would be the telephone network, where a connection from one end to the other is created and maintained until the call is disconnected.
