Packet switching is considered part of layer 3 of the OSI model.
Packet switching breaks the original data into smaller segments per packet before transmission. This is done in the layer 4 transport layer of the OSI model.
its depend on which protocol used in transport layer
packet switching is use today
packet switching circuit switching message switching
packet switching can be considered an improvement over message switching.Similar to message switching,packet switching forwards data on first come first serve basis between nodes and no dedication connection is made (as it is done in circuit switching). But unlike message switching,packet switching puts an upper limit on the maximum size of the packet.If the packet size is greater than the maximum,it is segmented and then transmitted.Each segment has separate header which increases the overhead. But it reduces the average delays.Also in case of packet switching data is not stored for later transmission to a currently busy or inactive terminal.It just takes care of data transmission between nodes
I believe there is no such thing as switching "from layer 3 to layer 2". Switching is either done within layer 3, or within layer 2.
Packet Switching =)
Packet Switching - Computer Communications (Digital)Circuit Switching was used for old fashioned telephony. At present, many companies use VOIP (Packet Switching) for voice communications.
In circuit switching there is also some required overhead; the overhead in packet switching is usually a small percentage of the total traffic; and in any case, the benefits of packet switching far outweigh any disadvantage of some minor overhead.
Data transfer will be faster in packet switching providing the setup time in circuit switching is greater than the time required to send a packet. If not, that is setup time in circuit switching takes less time, then circuit switching is quicker.
telephone system uses packet switching because packet switching is reiable. In a packet switching when a packet(some part of total information) is lost then the packet can be retransmitted. But in case of circuit switching if any part of data is lost anytime then total data will be retransmitted. Again circuit swithing is more speedy with compare to packet switching.In order to increase the bit rate (more speed) circuit switch is prefered in Internet.
