a) Why can we have the packet header in virtual circuit switching to be much smaller...

a) Why can we have the packet header in virtual circuit switching to be much smaller than the typical header in datagram switching?
b) Assume that we are using datagram switching (i.e. we are not using virtual circuits). Is it possible to guarantee bandwidth to each source-destination pair? Are there disadvantages of doing this using datagram switching?
c) What is the big-O complexity of processing the header of a packet if we are using virtual circuits? Briefly explain why.
d) Why in virtual circuits do we need a datagram routing table (in addition to the virtual circuit table)
e) In the Internet, we have the option of doing source routing (IP does have an option for this). What do you think could be the uses for it? Can you come up with two of them?
