Packet Switched definition

Packet Switched refers to the routing or forwarding of packets, frames, cells, or other data units based on address or other routing information contained in the packets, frames, cells or other data units, and the functions that are performed by the digital subscriber line (DSL) access multiplexers, including but not limited to the ability to terminate an End User Customer’s Copper Loop (which includes both a low-band voice channel and a high-band data channel, or solely a data channel); the ability to forward the voice channels, if present, to a circuit switch or multiple circuit switches; the ability to extract data units from the data channels on the loops; and the ability to combine data units from multiple loops onto one or more trunks connecting to a packet switch or packet switches.

Packet Switched refers to a method of switching in which data is assembled into packets containing address and routing information and packets from various UTs are assembled, interleaved, and transmitted in accordance with agreed protocols.
