• Keep. This is one of the most basic concepts in networking, and there is no reason to delete it. Nikola (talk) 14:12, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to packet switching, maybe. It's not at all clear what the author of the article meant, given the inherent ambiguity of switching in context. Mangoe (talk) 13:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Packet switching is just one of the kinds of switching that are used in switched networks. Nikola (talk) 09:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as per Rudd. No need to use AfD to improve articles or topic organization. --Kvng (talk) 14:30, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
