Frank, I guess I am dizzy from the spin (g).

Seriously, I thought that peeking into a data packet was desirable -- due to the savings in packet overhead - but heretofore prohibitive due to the increase in latency. Wasn't the sacrifice of payload capacity in ATM necessary for prioritization of packets which allows QoS guarantees?

Am I confused, behind the times -- or both?
