Abstract
The performance of circuit-switched and of packet-switched networks are portrayed as surfaces in a three-dimensional evaluation space. The intersection of these surfaces defines two operational domains-one optimal for circuit-switching and one for packet-switching. This result is applied to network planning in future operational domains.
