What is the essential difference between massage switching and packet switching?

message switching: sends the entire message to an alt router route to get to the end user.packet switching: breaks the message into packets and sends them to the end user, using the path with the lightest load or least traffic at the time of transmit. Packets can be sent in order or not and are re-assembled at the recieving end in the correct order by packet number.

Define circuit switching and packet switching what are the difference of them?

Packet-switched networks move data in separate, small data blocks, or packets as they are more commonly known, based on the destination address in each packet. When received, the packets are reassembled in the proper sequence to make up the message. The packets are not dependent on any one path or connection, and can take as many paths as necessary to maintain data integrity depending on traffic load of a shared network. Packet-switched networks are mainly used in standard LAN networks. Circuit-switched networks require dedicated point-to-point connections during calls.
