In telecommunications, fast packet switching is a packet switching technique that increases the throughput by eliminating overhead.

Note 1: Overhead reduction is accomplished by allocating flow control and error correction functions to either the user applications or the network nodes that interface with the user.

Note 2: Cell relay and frame relay are two implementations of fast packet switching.
