-Packet-switched network: Data is divided into small packets that
-are independently routed through the network. Each packet contains
-destination information, headers, and a portion of the original
-message. Packets can take different paths to reach the destination
-and are reassembled at the receiver. The network resources are
-shared among multiple users through statistical multiplexing
-(Kurose & Ross, 2021, Section 1.3.1).
-
-Circuit-switched network: A dedicated communication path (circuit)
-is established between sender and receiver before any data transmission
-begins. This circuit reserves network resources for the entire
-duration of the communication session, providing a guaranteed path
-with fixed bandwidth. The circuit must be torn down when communication
-is complete (Kurose & Ross, 2021, Section 1.3.2).

-### Advantages and Disadvantages
-
-#### Packet-Switched Networks
-
-- Pros: Efficient bandwidth usage, robust against link failures, cost-effective, supports multiple simultaneous connections, flexible routing
-- Cons: Variable delays, potential packet loss, no guaranteed service quality, requires complex routing protocols, possible congestion
-
-#### Circuit-Switched Networks
-
-- Pros: Guaranteed bandwidth, predictable performance, simple once established, suitable for real-time applications, no packet overhead
-- Cons: Inefficient resource utilization, blocking when circuits unavailable, requires setup/teardown time, expensive for bursty traffic, poor fault tolerance
-
-### Examples:
-
-- Packet-switched: Internet (IP), Ethernet LANs, modern data networks, email systems, web browsing
-- Circuit-switched: Traditional telephone networks (PSTN), dedicated leased lines, T1/T3 connections

+Key Points:
+
+* Packet-switched: Efficient, flexible, cost-effective, but can have variable delays and packet loss.
+* Circuit-switched: Predictable, guaranteed bandwidth, good for real-time traffic, but inefficient and less scalable.
