The router, called ASR-1000, allows Internet service providers (ISPs), large companies and universities to move data and integrate services that enable security, voice over Internet, deep packet inspection and the authentication of broadband flow to specific subscribers, all in a single piece of hardware.
So yes, the Internet has thrived in part because packet-switching works.
Even the non-neutral cable system increasingly makes use of the packet-switched architecture and Internet protocols.
Pearse and others dream of unifying the mess, with a box that blends both optics and electronics, fusing the circuit-switched world of phone calls and packet-switched world of Internet data.
And it features what is called mobile Internet protocol (IP), a packet data service that requires users to pay only for the amount of data they send and receive rather than for the amount of time spent on line.
The interlinked packet networks of computers became the Internet.

The technology intercepted the flow of traffic from Libya's main Internet service provider and harvested information from the stream using a method known as deep-packet inspection.
The higher the speed and the more always-on your Internet access, the more it makes sense to charge per month for speed and per packet for traffic.
CNN: OPINION: The push is on to deploy high-speed, always-on residential Internet access
With GPRS--or General Packet Radio Service--a WANDA handheld would already have an always-on Internet connection for things like e-mail, Web access and whatnot.
