It's starting to make more sense, but this leads me to another question. If Frame Relay creates a path through the switched network that all packets will take, why is it called a packetswitching technology and not a circuit switching technology? If after an SVC is established, all packets take the same path, and the SVC is disconnected or torn down, I would say that sounds like circuit switching to me.
