Here are the examples specifies the different between the Packet switch network & circuit switch network .
01.Circuit-switching :
You pick up your land phone &dial your friend .At that point ,the telco Provider creates a dedicated Circuit for that session and connects you to your friend's telephone.no matter how long you keep the line open with your friend ,the circuit will remain ,&packets flowing between both telephones will always follow the same path .This is an example of a circuit -switch .
02.Packet-switching
you switch on your PC & connect to your favorite site that offers a number of application you can download from,so you begin downloading one applications at the time ,Each packet has to find its own route the destination ,
For instance :your computer .Each packet finds its way using the information it carries ,such as the source & destination IP Address .If network congestion occurs,the router responsible for routing packets between networks will automatically select different paths to ensure data is transferred as required.
