Switching Techniques

Which of the following technologies requires a logical connection between the sending and receiving devices?

• Circuit switching
• Virtual-circuit packet switching
• Message switching
• High-density circuit switching

Which switching method offers a a dedicated transmission channel? 

• Packet switching
• Circuit switching 
• Virtual-circuit packet switching:
• Datagram packet switching:

The packets in _______________________
are independently sent, meaning that they can take different paths through the network to reach their intended destination

• Virtual-circuit packet switching
• Datagram packet switching:
• Circuit Switching
• Frame switching

Packet-switched networks can also be divided into
 ______
subcategories

• two
• three
• four
• six
