Information on Circuit Switching

It is very inefficient for a circuit to be established between any two users who require to converse or transfer information. Circuit switching is a much more efficient use of resources in which each user is connected to a central node or switch that provides the capability of interconnecting any two users for the period of the call. The telephone system uses circuit switching.
