““We specifically assume that fragments are transmitted from Host to Host through means of a PACKET SWITCHING NETWORK [PSN] [ROWE70, POUZ73]. This assumption is probably unnecessary, since a circuit switched network could also be used, but for concreteness, we explicitly assume that the hosts are connected to one or more PACKET SWITCHES [PS] of a PSN [HEKA7O, POUZ74, SCWI71].””
