In a circuit-switched network, can multiple circuits share a single optical fiber? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


It’s possible. Since the circuit switching means that the communication between two parties
is not affected in any way by communication among other parties, even if all communication is
multiplexed over a common medium. In particular, circuit switching must provide the illusion of an
isolated path for each pair of communicating entities.
