 Burst switching - Art History Online Reference and Guide
In a packet switched network, burst switching is a capability in which each network switch extracts routing instructions from an incoming packet header to establish and maintain the appropriate switch connection for the duration of the packet, following which the connection is automatically released.
In concept, burst switching is similar to connectionless mode transmission, but differs in that burst switching implies an intent to establish the switch connection in near real time so that only minimum buffering is required at the node switch.

 Packet article - Packet information computer networks header data connection transport - What-Means.com
A packet consists of a header, which contains the information needed to get the packet from the source to the destination, and a data area, which contains the information of the user who caused the creation of the packet.
A datagram is a self-contained packet, one which contains enough information in the header to allow the network to forward it to the destination independently of previous or future datagrams.
A packet (alternatively, datagram - the terms are basically synonymous, although in some contexts the two mean subtly different things) is the fundamental unit of information carriage in all modern computer networks.

 Dynamic bandwidth needed for MANs
RPR is an emerging technology, with a standard now under development by the IEEE-802.17 RPR Working Group, that's designed to optimize the delivery of packet services on fiber-ring networks.
Consequently, packet applications that lend themselves to statistical multiplexing cannot use the total available bandwidth efficiently and may be subject to throughput constraints, even when bandwidth is available on the ring as a whole.
However, the drawback of Sonet/SDH is that its underlying time-division multiplexing technology is inherently static with regard to bandwidth allocation and utilization.
