virtual memory as a technique could be implemented using both 'demand paging' and 'demand segmentation' the most obvious difference between a page and a segment is that different segments could be of different sizes while pages have the same size (or set of sizes)..

hmm.. i just found the relevant textbook -- Operating Systems Concepts, 5th ed, (Silberschatz, Galvin) page 291
