ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network. A network architecture that enables end-to-

tion is used for routing the packet through a network to its final destination.
Contrast with frame relay frame.
packet-switching network

a transmission channel is occupied only for the duration of the transmission of
the packet. Contrast with frame relay network.
