1. Packet switching networks were conceptually invented by the RAND corporation in 1962.2. For computer data, packet switching is much more efficient than circuit switching. 3. A fully connected network doesn't need to use packet switching or broadcasting. 4. There were even early concepts of packet switching and routing of data. 5. Applications include traditional mobile packet switching gateways as well as VoIP application servers. 6. This is similar to the advantage offered by packet switching over circuit switching. 7. The PICMG 2.16 CompactPCI Packet Switching Backplane specification was adopted in Sept 2001. 8. Datagram packet switching is also called connectionless networking because no connections are established. 9. Channel access methods for packet switching include carrier sense multiple access, token passing, etc. 10. Its name is a reference to the use of packet switching between network nodes.
