Compare and contrast circuit-switched services‚ dedicated-circuit services‚ and packet-switched services. Circuit switches services uses cloud architecture. This happens when a user leases a connection from a known carrier (which is called a cloud). This works for telephone lines; the user dials the telephone number of the destination computer and establishes a temporary circuit between the two computers. The computer then exchanges various data till the task is finished. When the task is completed
