Permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) look very similar to hardware-based dedicated circuits, and both are used for packet transmission in packet switched networks. However, unlike dedicated circuits, PVCs are not physically dedicated to a specific use or user and may be shared among multiple users. Cloud-based mesh design refers to a network topology where all devices are connected to each other in a non-linear, decentralized pattern (resembling a mesh), and are hosted on a cloud-based platform. This design is not directly related to the use of PVCs in packet switched networks. Cloak, common carrier ring, and common carrier bus designs are not relevant to the context of PVCs in packet switched networks.
