Consider the result of supporting N bursty data traffic generators via a switch and then over a transmission link of finite capacity, which needs to be shared among those N users. Which of the following statement(s) the possible use of packet or circuit switching is/are true?

Question

Answer

We would expect the users of this network to be less likely to suffer the effects of congestion (that is, to notice that their throughput is affected by other users) if we are using packet switching

Answer

If the data traffic profile changed over time such that the traffic from each user was more continuous and constant, then any advantages from using packet switching would diminish
