Question

____________ uses entire capacity of link.

(a)circuit switching       (b)packet switching

(c)both                          (d)none

Comments

circuit switching.

---

why?

---

because in circuit switching resource are provided fully with good bandwidth and there is also a dedicated path from source to destination

---

but that path might not be including all paths.say i have paths in graph a->b->c and a->g->h,now ,when a->b->c is in process,the other path is not getting utilized,please correct

Answer 1

Circuit Switching is a method of implementing a telecommunications network in which two network nodes establish a dedicated communications channel (circuit) through the network before the nodes may communicate. The circuit guarantees the full bandwidth of the channel and remains connected for the duration of the communication session. The circuit functions as if the nodes were physically connected as with an electrical circuit.
Circuit Switching is commonly used for connecting voice circuits, the concept of a dedicated path persisting between two communicating parties or nodes can be extended to signal content other than voice. Its advantage is that it provides for continuous transfer without the overhead associated with packets making maximal use of available bandwidth for that communication

Answer 2

answer is circuit switching. In circuit switching particular path is assigned to a packet  and bandwidth utilization is maximum
