An upper-layer packet is split into 10 frames, each of which has an 80 percent chance of arriving undamaged. If no error control is done by the data link protocol, how many times must the message be sent on average to get the entire thing through? An connection-oriented service (like TCP) does error checking and requests data to be resend. The packet has several options for error free transport. Connectionless service (think UDP) does not check for undamaged arival. It has a much smaller packet size and is also faster.

a packet switched network relays packets on a per-packet basis, sending them directly where they need to go, circuit switched send all packets one way through a network until they reach their destination

If connectionless serviceis offered, packets are injected into the network individually and routed independently of each other. No advance setup is needed. In this context, packets are called datagrams and the network is called datagram network. If connection-oriented service is used, a path from the source router all the way to the destination router must be established before any data packets can be sent. This connection is calle a virtual circuit.
