Some packets are more equal because they are being greased with payment to transport providers. Like Bitcoin transactions, you can pay more to have it done faster. Or the HOV lane in big cities - pay a fee or bundle the 'packets' to get downtown ahead of the rest of the traffic.

You get the convenience of skipping local roads (and a higher likelihood of getting shot than driving through Baghdad, but that's a digression), but it costs $5-6 to use the road. That sounds like a physical fast lane to me. Pay more, get a faster, more direct route.
