More on "Is packet switching the most expensive"?

Packet switching is actually the least expensive (in CPU and bw
overhead), optimal (in bw usage) base layer.

The simplest reason this is so, is that TCP (or any other connection
oriented protocol) as a base layer, incurs various oveheads -
re-transmission delays, latency due to (required for TCP) re-ordering
queues, and other attack and timing issues related to the specific
protocol in use (TCP for Tor), and the point being:

 - these issues/overheads, are incurred for all streams, even packet
   based streams which do NOT need TCP overhead.
