CIRCUIT switching is a type of method for implementing a telecommunication network in which a dedicated path or physical connection is established before transmission of data. Dedicated connection allows full-duplex, FAST, SAFE and reliable transmission of data. After the data transfer, the path is released. Example – VOICE communication (telephone etc.).

Packet switching is a digital networking method for (half-duplex) communication in which data is divided into small segments (called packets) which are transmitted over a medium that is shared between parties in a network. Example – data communication (INTERNET etc.).
