    Packet Switching :

      - Packet switching is a digital networking communication method that transmitted data into suitable sized blocks, which is called as Packets.

      - It increases network efficiency and robustness.

    Circuit Switching :

      - Circuit switching is a method that implements a telecommunication network where two network nodes establish a dedicated communication channel or circuit through the network.

      - It is commonly used for connecting voice circuits.
