Each has its own unique advantages and limitations. Neither of them can replace the other without performance and/or service impairments.
Better (in terms of performance and cost) systems can be developed by using either or both, depending on requirements — rather than preselecting packet technology.
Packet-centric approach creates inertia with premature obsolescence of circuit infrastructure and products.
Transfer Networktm is redesign of the access network — taking into account functionality, performance, cost, compatibility with existing infrastructure, minimizing interoperability and upgrade problems. more> StrategyGroup.net/redesign/
