- Packet switching refers to a set of protocols that uses a connection-less network switching approach to transmit the packets.
- In this switching, the messages are broken and grouped into small units called packets.
- These packets are transmitted individually across a digital network to reach its destination.
The Working of a packet-switched network is as shown:

Advantages of packet switching are:
- Packet switching is cost-effective because switching devices do not need a massive amount of secondary storage.
- Many users can share the same channel at the same time. This results in maximum link efficiency by making optimal use of link bandwidth.
- Transmission delays are there but they are of small duration as compared to a circuit-switched network.
