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.

Where is the circuit-switched network used?
The first circuit-switched network was the telephone system.
What is a cross connection?
Is a piece of circuit - switched network equipment used in telecommunications network.
What is a cross-connecting?
Is a piece of circuit - switched network equipment used in telecommunications network.
What are the three phases in a circuit switched network?
The squadron of the zorkat forest.
For which three reasons were circuit-switched connection-oriented technologies rejected when the internet was being developed?
-early circuit-switched networks did not automaticaly establish alternative circuits in the event of circuit failure -circuit-switched technologies required that an open circuit between network endpoints be established, even if data was not actively being transferred between locations -the establishment of multiple, simultaneous open circuits for fault tolerance was costly
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.
What is a difference between pstn and psdn?
PSTN stands for Public switched telephone network PSDN stands for Public switched Data network / Packet Switched Data Network. The basic difference between two is the switching technique used. PSTN uses Circuit Switching and PSDN uses Packet Switching
What is the fullform of PSTN?
Public Switched Telephone NetworkPublic Switched Telephone NetworkPublic Switched Telephone NetworkPublic Switched Telephone Network
What is circuit switch and packet switch?
These are types of switches used in networks. A packet-switched network moves data in separate units called packets which are then assembled to create the message. Circuit switched networks send continuously but require dedicated point-to-point connections.
Is 'Data Call' the same as 'Packet Data'?
Here's from the N800 Manual: To use a packet switched data service in a cellular network, such as GPRS, select Packet Data. To use a circuit switched data service in a cellular network, such as HSCSD, select Data Call.
Types of communication networks?
Communication network can be generally viewed as Switched & Broadcast.In switched network comes Circuit & Packet Switched network.Circuit Switched Network are used by Telphone,GSM.Packet Switched network are further sub divided into Datagram & Virtual Circuit.Datagram circuit followed by Internet,IP network whereas Virtual circuit example is ATM .
What has the author James Edward Hansen written?
James Edward Hansen has written: 'A time-multiplexed switched-capacitor circuit for neural network applications' -- subject(s): Neural networks (Computer science), Switched capacitor circuits
