What is the Difference Between Packet Switching and Circuit Switching?

Within a network, packet switching break streams of data into smaller blocks of data. Each of these small blocks are then sent independently over a shared network.
Packet switching is different from circuit switching, which provides the basis for traditional telephone networks. Some of you may remember ordering a pizza from a landline phone in your house before cellular technology dominated everyday communications. When you made a call to order that pizza, a circuit switch created a temporary and dedicated link of fixed bandwidth between communicating end nodes. This link only lasted until the call was complete. If there weren’t enough network resources available, the call wouldn’t be established or “completed as dialed.” Circuit switching can guarantee quality through dedicated bandwidth, but most of this bandwidth is wasted on “dead air.” Since the complexities of making a call are handled in the centralized facilities of a phone company, circuit switching allows the telephone itself to be a relatively simple device.

Packet switching allows users to equally share bandwidth resources but makes no promises concerning quality or latency. This is useful for transferring data that doesn’t require real-time responsiveness. Packet switching places the intelligence in the end nodes, rather than the phone company facilities, with a simple underlying network that only directs packets from one side to the other.
Packet switching is easier and more affordable than circuit switching. Since all the bandwidth can be used at once, packet switching is more efficient because it doesn’t have to deal with a limited number of connections that may not be using all that bandwidth. Packet switching also requires a less complicated infrastructure that can easily respond should parts of the network fail, making it quicker and less expensive to add new nodes whenever they’re needed.

Circuit Switching	Packet Switching
Dedicated physical path between source and destination	No Physical path
All packets use same path	Packets travel independently
Reserve the entire bandwidth in advance	Does not reserve
Bandwidth Wastage	No bandwidth wastage
No store and forward transmission	Supports store and forward transmission
