A **Packet Switched Network (PSN)** is a type of computer communications network that groups and sends data in the form of small packets. It enables the sending of data or network packets between a source and destination [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:node|node]] over a network channel that is shared between multiple users and/or applications.

A packet switched is also known as a connectionless network, as it does not create a permanent connection between a source and destination node.
