Path established for entire message.

 

Route established for each packet

Call setup delay. 

Packet transmission delay.

Busy signal if called party busy.

No busy signal.

Blocking may occur. 

Blocking cannot occur

User responsible for message-loss protection.

Network may be responsible for each packet but not for entire message.

No speed or code conversion. 

Speed and code conversion.

Fixed bandwidth transmission. 

Dynamic use of bandwidth.

No overload bits after initial setup delay.

 

Overload bits in each packet.
