Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Circuit switching was developed primarily for voice traffic, where a dedicated circuit is established between two parties for the duration of the call. This guarantees a consistent quality of service with minimal delay and jitter for the voice traffic. While circuit switching can also be used for data traffic, it is less efficient than packet switching, which is optimized for data traffic. A/V (audio/video) and video traffic can also be handled by circuit switching, but these are usually carried over networks that use packet switching.
