Circuit-switched is often contrasted with packet-switched. Some packet-switched networks such as the X.25 network are able to have virtual circuit-switching. A virtual circuit-switched connection is a dedicated logical connection that allows sharing of the physical path among multiple virtual circuit connections.

In a circuit switched network there is a physical end to end connection created between the communicating parties. This connection is maintained for the duration of the call and is of a fixed data rate. The PSTN (telephone ... In packet switching there is no dedicated end to end connection between communicating parties.

In this type of network, a "permanent" circuit is set up between the originating and destination point for the duration of the call or transmission. This is in contrast to packet switched networks in which pieces of an individual message or transmission could - and likely do, take numerous paths from beginning to end.
