Circuit Switching

Circuit switching is used for ordinary non-digital telephone systems. It allows communications equipment and circuits to be shared among users. Each user has sole access to a circuit (functionally equivalent to a pair of copper wires) during network use.

A circuit switching network is the one that establishes a dedicated circuit or channel between nodes and terminals before the user may communicate. Each circuit that is dedicated cannot be used by other callers until the circuit is released and a new connection is set up. Even if no actual communication is taking place in a dedicated circuit's channel, that channel still remains unavailable to other users. Any other channel that is available remains unconnected (set to "idle") until a new call appears.
