Two different switching techniques are used inside the telephone system- circuit and packet.
Switching technique:-
Switchedcommunication networks are those in which data transferred from source to destination is routed between various intermediate nodes. Switching is the technique by which nodes control or switch data to transmit it between specific points on a network.
Circuit switching:-
Circuit switchingis a method of implementing a telecommunications network in which two network nodes establish a dedicated communications channel through the network before the nodes may communicate. The circuit guarantees the full bandwidth of the channel and remains connected for the duration of the communication session.
Packet switching:-
Packet switching is a method of grouping data which is transmitted over a digital network into packets. Packets are made of a header and a payload. Data in the header is used by networking hardware to direct the packet to its destination where the payload is extracted and used by application software.
