A **telecommunications network**  A **telecommunications network** is a collection of [|terminals], [|links] and [|nodes] which connect together to enable [|telecommunication] between users of the terminals. Networks may use [|circuit switching] or [|message switching]. Each terminal in the network must have a unique [|address] so messages or connections can be routed to the correct recipients. The collection of addresses in the network is called the [|address space]. The links connect the nodes together and are themselves built upon an underlying [|transmission network] which physically pushes the message across the link. Examples of telecommunications networks are:  ·  [|Computer network]   · the [|Internet] Network  · the [|telephone network]   · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">the global [|Telex] network <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-themecolor: text1; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; msothemecolor: text1;">· <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">the aeronautical [|ACARS] network <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">
