Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A circuit-switched network establishes a dedicated path between two nodes for the duration of their communication. This means that there is no need to share the bandwidth with other users as a dedicated path is reserved for the entire session. In contrast, packet-switched networks, such as the Internet, break data into packets that travel different paths and share the bandwidth with other users. Broadcast networks transmit data to all connected devices rather than having dedicated paths for each connection. While virtual circuit networks have some characteristics of dedicated paths, they are not truly dedicated and can still share bandwidth with other users.
